adam291086 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Well here are a few steps to make a basic playlist 1) load the music files into a directory. 2) Open up that directory and display all the files. 3) Set the file names to = a link. That link will take the user to the files to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam291086 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 the best way i find to code is to break down a project into smaller chucks. I.e upload script for files display the directory list set up the links then get a script that will play music then put it all together.

adredz Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 guys, i appreciate you replies very much but i don't really understand them that much. i mean i got the logic but i don't know the right syntax. would you help me? i got a sample code from daniweb.com but i can't seem to work it out. im using a localhost server so basically i'll be using /localhost/playlist.php something path... here's the code... <?php $song = $_GET['song']; echo '<a href="/jacobsite/music.php?song=Shpadoinkle.mp3">Shpadoinkle</a><br/>'; echo '<a href="/jacobsite/music.php?song=Dani_California.mp3">Dani California</a><br/>'; echo '<embed qtsrc='.$song.' height"256" width="320" src='.$song.' type="image/x-quicktime" pluginspage="[http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/]" autoplay="true">'; ?> obviously it won't work with the localhost. now my question is how would i link my mp3 files to this. i have the mp3 files saved in a diffrent folder named mp3 on the www folder under wamp folder.(i've installed wamp server myself, im pretty sure you guyz are familiar with this) and then i saved it(mp3 folder) on a folder named playlist together with my playlist.php file...any help pls???you could edit the code above if wouldn't mind....
