c19h28o2 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hi, I'd like to build a website where people can search for music files on my server. I have the files already on my server so was just looking for some pointers on which is the best way to do this. It will be quite a few files in different directories etc. Do I search the files themselves or put a database together to help with the search? To be honest I don't have a clue where to start with this.

Daniel0 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I'd put a reference in a database to the files and search the database. There you can add a lot more searchable content such as a description for instance.
