Reading MP3 Data in PHP by Dempsey on 05-08-2005 at 09:21 PM
Has anyone ever made/used/heard of a PHP script which can read data from within a MP3, such as track length?
I've tried a few scripts but they seemed to say less than winamp or whatever when i Played them.
Or does anyone know about any MP3 documentation or something? So i can try and read the track length myself?
Cheers for any help

a google search came up with this http://pear.php.net/package/MP3_ID/ might be of some use maybe.

Thanks, I just tried that and that one doesn't seem to work either. Maybe I just have some dodgy MP3s.
Does anyone know of a program to check if a MP3 is fully valid, becuase these MP3s play fine, but there could still be bits missing

Try making sure you've got both IDv2/3 tags filled in?

I've found a way of doing it now. As I only want to read the MP3 header, not the actual ID3 tags, cos all I want is the Duration of the track.
