So you want to use non-standard fields instead of the standard ones?
Then simply assign a tag value greater than 0xF000 to them. PEL will
then accept them as custom tags.
So something like this (coding off the top of my head...) should work:
$entry = new PelEntryAscii(0xF123, 'This is my very own tag...');
$ifd->addEntry($entry);
This wont work:
$entry = new PelEntryAscii(PelTag::DATE_TIME,
'Hehe, a string in the length...');
$ifd->addEntry($entry);
it will fail when such an image is stored and later loaded since PEL
will recognize the PelTag::DATE_TIME and expect it to be a proper
date. But if you stick to large tag values, then you should be safe.
It's not something which I've tested, but I think it works... please
report your findings back to me and the PEL devel list.
