I just wanted to share this quick workaround for anyone else that may run across a similar issue. It is not a fix, just a workaround for now, but I thought it might prove helpful.
After upgrading to 1.6.4, my nothing was showing up album- or picture-wise in the front end and though I could see the album folders and their correct number of pictures, neither the thumbnails or information would show for any picture in any album on the admin side of things. In debug, I was met with:
ERROR: Call to undefined function exif_imagetype() in /../../../../zp-core/functions/functions.php on line 2494
.
Simply going to zp-core/functions/functions.php and removing the complete exif_imagetype() if statement (lines 2494 - 2511 for me) restored complete functionality as far as I can tell.
While this restored functionality, it is not a fix as a warning now appears in the debug log:
WARNING: Undefined variable $rslt in /../../../../zp-core/functions/functions.php on line 2494 read_exif_data_protected called from Image->updateMetaData (class-image.php [370]) from Image->__construct (class-image.php [69]) from Image::newImage (class-image.php [117]) from AlbumBase->getAlbumThumbImage (class-albumbase.php [571]) from printAlbumThumbImage (template-functions.php [1877]) from include (index.php [87]) from include (index.php [128]) from index.php [79]
which, I know isn't a huge deal, but it is extra strain of the server and isn't great. I may go through and edit each of these, but for now I think I will take a break from this project for a bit and wanted to share this (not so great, but functional) workaround incase it would benefit someone else. Happy coding!

If you really get this error your should ask your host about the correct PHP setup on your server. This function that belongs to a bundled standard extension of PHP:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.exif.php
https://www.php.net/manual/de/extensions.membership.php
If you don't have that you also don't have
exif_read_data()which means Zenphoto cannot read any Exif meta data at all.Setup would have notified you about the missing extension btw. We really expect such bundled standard extensions to be present.
