Question

I’m making a websites with some audiofiles.
So now I’m a bit stuck.
I have to create a formula that converts f.ex; 3:11 into milliseconds.
Should I use a while loop to do that?

<category id="cat2"/>
            <thumbnail url="admin/imgsupl/<? echo $row["thumbnail"]; ?>" />
            <pdf url="admin/docsupl/<? echo $row["filedownload"]; ?>" />
            <video url="admin/docsupl/alixir.flv" title="Alixir video"/>
            <?
            $ThisFileInfo = $getID3->analyze("../admin/docsupl/".$row["voice_over_mp3"]);
            getid3_lib::CopyTagsToComments($ThisFileInfo);
            $ThisFileInfo['playtime_string']; //3:11

            ?>

I can’t manage to find an exact formula as well…

Thanks

You can split the string by “:”, and then you’ll have minutes in one var and seconds in another. You then convert both of them to integers and multiply:

(minutes*60 + seconds) * 1000
