Quick Start
===========================================================================
Q: How can I check that getID3() works on my server/files?
A: Unzip getID3() to a directory, then access /demos/demo.browse.php
Support
===========================================================================
Q: I have a question, or I found a bug. What do I do?
A: The preferred method of support requests and/or bug reports is the
forum at http://support.getid3.org/
Sourceforge Notification
===========================================================================
It's highly recommended that you sign up for notification from
Sourceforge for when new versions are released. Please visit:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=55859
and click the little "monitor package" icon/link. If you're
previously signed up for the mailing list, be aware that it has
been discontinued, only the automated Sourceforge notification
will be used from now on.

Requirements
===========================================================================
* PHP 4.2.0 up to 5.2.x for getID3() 1.7.x (and earlier)
* PHP 5.0.5 (or higher) for getID3() 1.8.x (and up)
* PHP 5.0.5 (or higher) for getID3() 2.0.x (and up)
* at least 4MB memory for PHP. 8MB or more is highly recommended.
12MB is required with all modules loaded.
Usage
===========================================================================
See /demos/demo.basic.php for a very basic use of getID3() with no
fancy output, just scanning one file.
See structure.txt for the returned data structure.
*> For an example of a complete directory-browsing, <*
*> file-scanning implementation of getID3(), please run <*
*> /demos/demo.browse.php <*
See /demos/demo.mysql.php for a sample recursive scanning code that
scans every file in a given directory, and all sub-directories, stores
the results in a database and allows various analysis / maintenance
operations
To analyze remote files over HTTP or FTP you need to copy the file
locally first before running getID3(). Your code would look something
like this:
// Copy remote file locally to scan with getID3()
$remotefilename = 'http://www.example.com/filename.mp3';
if ($fp_remote = fopen($remotefilename, 'rb')) {
$localtempfilename = tempnam('/tmp', 'getID3');
if ($fp_local = fopen($localtempfilename, 'wb')) {
while ($buffer = fread($fp_remote, 8192)) {
fwrite($fp_local, $buffer);
}
fclose($fp_local);
// Initialize getID3 engine
$getID3 = new getID3;
$ThisFileInfo = $getID3->analyze($filename);
// Delete temporary file
unlink($localtempfilename);
}
fclose($fp_remote);
}
See /demos/demo.write.php for how to write tags.
What does the returned data structure look like?
===========================================================================
See structure.txt
It is recommended that you look at the output of
/demos/demo.browse.php scanning the file(s) you're interested in to
confirm what data is actually returned for any particular filetype in
general, and your files in particular, as the actual data returned
may vary considerably depending on what information is available in
the file itself.
Notes
===========================================================================
getID3() 1.x:
If the format parser encounters a critical problem, it will return
something in $fileinfo['error'], describing the encountered error. If
a less critical error or notice is generated it will appear in
$fileinfo['warning']. Both keys may contain more than one warning or
error. If something is returned in ['error'] then the file was not
correctly parsed and returned data may or may not be correct and/or
complete. If something is returned in ['warning'] (and not ['error'])
then the data that is returned is OK - usually getID3() is reporting
errors in the file that have been worked around due to known bugs in
other programs. Some warnings may indicate that the data that is
returned is OK but that some data could not be extracted due to
errors in the file.
getID3() 2.x:
See above except errors are thrown (so you will only get one error).
Disclaimer
===========================================================================
getID3() has been tested on many systems, on many types of files,
under many operating systems, and is generally believe to be stable
and safe. That being said, there is still the chance there is an
undiscovered and/or unfixed bug that may potentially corrupt your
file, especially within the writing functions. By using getID3() you
agree that it's not my fault if any of your files are corrupted.
In fact, I'm not liable for anything :)
