Extracting metadata using PHP

[barefootsanders]

Hey everyone,

 

Is there anyway to extract the metadata i.e. title, artist, album, from audio files using PHP??

 

Thanks for any help in advance.

Sure there is.

 

Use fopen() and read up on mp3

you can also use file_get_contents

So I attempted to use this method and I got random code like this, "!©ªâêzhÌsù¼,˜Ie×kk‰".  How can I specify or parse out the metadata that I would need?

 

Thanks!

How would I extract metadata from the fopen() response?
