Title, Artist, and Album Artwork in PHP

[Fijiannn]

Hi I have an .mp3 file on my host that has a title, artist, and album artwork. How can I capture this in PHP so then I can go to my iPhone app and use what the PHP file captured?

<?php
    
    function fooFucker($url) {
        $a = join('/', array_map('urlencode', explode('/', $url)));
        return str_replace('+', '%20', $a);
    }
    
    $SongsFolder = "songs";
    
    header("Content-Type: audio/x-mpegurl");
    
    $body = '';
    
    $Songs = glob($SongsFolder."/*.mp3");
    shuffle($Songs);
    $first = 0;
    
    foreach($Songs as $Song)
    {
        $SongPath = pathinfo($Song);
        if ($first != 0) {
            $body .= "\n";
        }
        $first = 1;
        $body .= "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].fooFucker(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']))."/".fooFucker($SongsFolder)."/".fooFucker($SongPath['basename']);
    }
    header('Content-Length: ' . strlen($body));
    echo $body;
?>

Your question is far too vague.

How could I install what it needs on a Mac?

If you want to use PHP to extract the ID3 info for an MP3, then I would highly suggest using getID3().

Will this install to GoDaddy shared hosting? Sorry I'm more of an iPhone app developer and trying learn this PHP stuff. I feel like my PHP code I'm using above will not be able to get the title, artist, and album artwork because of the way it's set up. You have any examples on how I can go about doing this?

getID3 is a PHP function. You can install it locally through composer:

Or you can simply download it as a .zip and extract it in your project root:
