New to php.
I use a php script to generate a playlist, the first song entry in the list is blank for all fields (artist, title, length, filename). Why?
Here's the script
<?php
require_once('getid3/getid3.php');
$dir = 'mp3';
$file_type = 'mp3';
$play_list = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><config>';
if (is_dir($dir)) {
if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
$name_array = explode('.', $file);
if ($name_array[1] == $file_type) {
$play_list .= '<song>';
$file = "$dir/$file";
$getID3 = new getID3;
$ThisFileInfo = $getID3->analyze($file);
getid3_lib::CopyTagsToComments($ThisFileInfo);
$play_list .= '<artist>'.$ThisFileInfo['comments_html']['artist'][0] . '</artist>';
$play_list .= '<title>'. $ThisFileInfo['tags']['id3v2']['title'][0]. '</title>';
$new_playtime = ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9]", "", $ThisFileInfo['playtime_string'] );
$play_list .= '<length>'.$new_playtime . '</length>';
$play_list .= '<fileName>'.$file.'</fileName>';
$play_list .= '</song>';
}
}
}
closedir($dh);
$play_list .= '</config>';
echo "$play_list";
}
}
?>
And here's how the ouput looks.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config>
<song><artist></artist><title></title><length></length><fileName>mp3/air - all i need.mp3</fileName></song>
