For those working with Imagick and its libraries you know how 'well' documented the information is.  Well let's help you out with some valuable functions.

EXIF information
There are several, barely documented features for EXIF data in JPG files.  

$File = '(Name of File)';
$Image = new Imagick($File); 

// GET EXIF data 

print_r($Image->getImageProperties ('exif:*')); 

// STRIP EXIF data 

$Image->stripImage(); 

// WRITE file WITHOUT EXIF data 

$DestFile = 'Fred.jpg';

$Image->writeImage ($DestFile); 

// read image data 

$Image->readImage($DestFile); 

// output the data

print_r($Image->getImageProperties('exif:*'));
