<?php

use Chilkat2\Xmp;

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$xmp = new Xmp();

// The first step is to create a new XMP document, which is nothing
// more than XML.  The NewXmp method returns an XML document with
// the standard XMP boilerplate.
$xml = $xmp->NewXmp();

// Add some properties...
$xmp->AddSimpleStr($xml, 'Iptc4xmpCore:Chilkat', 'Blah blah');
// If you wish to view the XML, save it to a file and review it
// with a text editor:
try {
    $xml->SaveXml('newXmp.xml');

    // To add the XMP to the JPG (or TIFF), simply load the JPG,
    // append the XMP, and save:
    $xmp->LoadAppFile('scream.jpg');

    $xmp->Append($xml);

    $xmp->SaveAppFile('screamOut.jpg');
