Hi there!

 

I havent been on PHP Freaks for years... My old account got deleted due to inactivity so I had to remake it! Ah well.

 

I've been working on a new site called the MIDI City, using PHP, mysql, file uploads etc. Its my first venture into using PHP Classes as well (MIDI in this case, to read MIDI file data).

 

I would really like some critique to see which areas I could improve!

 

The URL is http://midicity.indigobanana.com/

 

Thanks! Jamie  :)

ok, go here:  http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,95433.0.html

 

use that for your file downloads so i don't get quicktime all up in my grill

 

also, use a horizontal banner for your google ads, not a box... the boxes piss people off

Okay i have tried moving the ads around a bit... i tried a horizontal ad before but the performance was absolutely terrible. So away it went.

 

As for the file download, and quicktime (eww..), I might try out using the script, although i'm thinking about getting rid of the download links and instead streaming the mp3 in xspf flash audio player.

 

Also, you can register as a user at http://midicity.indigobanana.com/register.html

MIDI to MP3 processing is done manually at the moment, sadly :( I can't get the command line conversion program to run in the php exec command, it just dies (something to do with not finding a hWnd instance... far beyond my knowledge!)

 

Anyway, thanks for your comments so far

Jamie

is this being run on a server you personally own, or even have shell access to?

 

if not, exec might be disabled.

 

i'm having this problem on my site, so i made my computer into a server and had it run the file through my computer to make changes, and the upload the completed file.

 

since i've done yours will you do mine?

Sorry I didnt make it very clear! THis is when i run it from Apache on a server I own... completely seperate to the webhost of the MIDI City. It just such a shame it isnt working properly. :/
