Question

So I have a website that queries a database with information about music, with id3 information and file location information. I would like to use THIS to add a little playable mp3 player beside each of the search results, but I can’t figure out how to do this without generating the xspf file, which would mean I would need an xspf file for every file in the database, which I don’t want to do.

Answer 1

An XSPF file is fairly small. It’s just an XML document with song locations and titles. Just generate it dynamically.

<? header('Content-type: application/xspf+xml'); $tracks = array(     'Song 1' => '/media/song1.ogg',     'Second Song' => '/media/second_song.ogg',     '3rd Song' => '/media/3rd_song.mp3' ); $xml = new XmlWriter(); $xml->startDocument('1.0','UTF-8');  $xml->startElement('playlist'); $xml->writeAttribute('version','1'); $xml->writeAttribute('xmlns','http://xspf.org/ns/0/'); $xml->startElement('trackList');  foreach ($tracks as $title => $location) {    $xml->startElement('track');    $xml->startElement('title', $title);    $xml->startElement('location', $location);    $xml->endElement(); // track } $xml->endElement(); // trackList $xml->endElement(); // playlist $xml->endDocument(); $xml->flush(); ?>
