Arguing with Grok until PHP does what I want

Somewhat ~~simple~~ PHP script to read and extract information from images to a json. Fetches dimensions, EXIF taken date, adds tags based on folder structure. Built from arguing with Grok… refined, fixed, and mastered by Claude Code. Like Lemon said, “Grok stupid bro”.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, choose life.
Choose Claude.
