You won’t be able to do audio processing correctly with PHP alone, you should take a look at the following:

Answer 1

You may use the getID3 library to read the file’s metadata. There is a attribute called playtime_length (also see this code example) that you can read and convert to a floating point number using the php floatval() function.
