I would like to extract the GPS EXIF tag from pictures using php.
I'm using the exif_read_data() that returns a array of all tags + data :
GPS.GPSLatitudeRef: N
GPS.GPSLatitude:Array ( [0] => 46/1 [1] => 5403/100 [2] => 0/1 ) 
GPS.GPSLongitudeRef: E
GPS.GPSLongitude:Array ( [0] => 7/1 [1] => 880/100 [2] => 0/1 ) 
GPS.GPSAltitudeRef: 
GPS.GPSAltitude: 634/1
I don't know how to interpret 46/1 5403/100 and 0/1 ? 46 might be 46° but what about the rest especially 0/1 ?
angle/1 5403/100 0/1
What is this structure about ?
How to convert them to "standard" ones (like 46°56'48?N 7°26'39?E from wikipedia) ? I would like to pass thoses coordinates to the google maps api to display the pictures positions on a map !
