Question

I’m working on something to get some id3 tags off my media server. I have a method I found for digging ID3 tags out of mp3’s

<?php
// From here: http://www.autistici.org/ermes/index.php?pag=1&post=15
// and fixed here: http://www.barattalo.it
// ------------------------------
// example:
// print_r( tagReader ("myfile.mp3") );
// ------------------------------
function tagReader($file){
    $id3v23 = array("TIT2","TALB","TPE1","TRCK","TDRC","TLEN","USLT");
    $id3v22 = array("TT2","TAL","TP1","TRK","TYE","TLE","ULT");
    $fsize = filesize($file);
    $fd = fopen($file,"r");
    $tag = fread($fd,$fsize);
    $tmp = "";
    fclose($fd);
    if (substr($tag,0,3) == "ID3") {
        $result['FileName'] = $file;
        $result['TAG'] = substr($tag,0,3);
        $result['Version'] = hexdec(bin2hex(substr($tag,3,1))).".".hexdec(bin2hex(substr($tag,4,1)));
    }
    if($result['Version'] == "4.0" || $result['Version'] == "3.0"){
        for ($i=0;$i<count($id3v23);$i++){
            if (strpos($tag,$id3v23[$i].chr(0))!= FALSE){
                $pos = strpos($tag, $id3v23[$i].chr(0));
                $len = hexdec(bin2hex(substr($tag,($pos+5),3)));
                $data = substr($tag, $pos, 9+$len);
                for ($a=0;$a<strlen($data);$a++){
                    $char = substr($data,$a,1);
                    if($char >= " " && $char <= "~") $tmp.=$char;
                }
                if(substr($tmp,0,4) == "TIT2") $result['Title'] = substr($tmp,4);
                if(substr($tmp,0,4) == "TALB") $result['Album'] = substr($tmp,4);
                if(substr($tmp,0,4) == "TPE1") $result['Author'] = substr($tmp,4);
                if(substr($tmp,0,4) == "TRCK") $result['Track'] = substr($tmp,4);

                if(substr($tmp,0,4) == "TDRC") $result['Year'] = substr($tmp,4);
                if(substr($tmp,0,4) == "TLEN") $result['Lenght'] = substr($tmp,4);
                if(substr($tmp,0,4) == "USLT") $result['Lyric'] = substr($tmp,7);
                $tmp = "";
            }
        }
    }
    if($result['Version'] == "2.0"){
        for ($i=0;$i<count($id3v22);$i++){
            if (strpos($tag,$id3v22[$i].chr(0))!= FALSE){
                $pos = strpos($tag, $id3v22[$i].chr(0));
                $len = hexdec(bin2hex(substr($tag,($pos+3),3)));
                $data = substr($tag, $pos, 6+$len);
                for ($a=0;$a<strlen($data);$a++){
                    $char = substr($data,$a,1);
                    if($char >= " " && $char <= "~") $tmp.=$char;
                }
                if(substr($tmp,0,3) == "TT2") $result['Title'] = substr($tmp,3);
                if(substr($tmp,0,3) == "TAL") $result['Album'] = substr($tmp,3);
                if(substr($tmp,0,3) == "TP1") $result['Author'] = substr($tmp,3);
                if(substr($tmp,0,3) == "TRK") $result['Track'] = substr($tmp,3);
                if(substr($tmp,0,3) == "TYE") $result['Year'] = substr($tmp,3);
                if(substr($tmp,0,3) == "TLE") $result['Lenght'] = substr($tmp,3);
                if(substr($tmp,0,3) == "ULT") $result['Lyric'] = substr($tmp,6);
                $tmp = "";
            }
        }
    }
    return $result;
}

and subsequest call

print_r(tagReader("/mnt/data/downloads/music/Arctic Monkeys/Who The F Are Arctic Monkeys_ - EP/05 Who The F Are Arctic Monkeys_.mp3"));

I copied this file into a simpler path (even with spaces), and the method works correctly. It doesn’t seem to be working with the long file name. I tried escaping the spaces with \, but that didn’t work.

Answer 1

I actually posted a comment up above, I ended turning on error reporting. With errors, I got Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 13484377 bytes) in /opt/share/www/hi.php on line 16 So I added ini_set("memory_limit","20M"); And it fixed it
