PHP music player - HTML Forums

evropa · 10-23-2006, 01:23 PM

I'm wondering what is the best way to create a audio player powered by PHP? Keep in mind I have no experience in Flash. Maybe some html, ajax and CSS styling?

PHP does not deal with audio players, flash players, ajax, css, html, or any type of players or client side language. AJAX being partly server-side, but it is a different language set altogether.

Do you have any links that have examples of non flash audio players? I'm not sure how to start it, I'm thinking a textareas for the song info and songs?

this is a music player who is done in html and then powered/config'd through php
the actual player is in html and some javascript, however the songs are read from a directory and put into the player. All songs in the "music" folder will be inserted into your playlist.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
function song(){
document.getElementById('music1').innerHTML="<embed type='application/x-mplayer2' id='music2' pluginspage='http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/' src='"+document.getElementById('cancion').value+"' name='MediaPlayer1' width='300' height='75' controltype='2' showcontrols='1' showstatusbar='1' AutoStart='true'></embed>";
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<select  id="cancion" onchange="song()" size="1"> 
   <option value="none">::::::::::::: Choose Your Song Here :::::::::::::</option>
<?php
$nameofdir = "music/";
$domain = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$dir = opendir($nameofdir);

while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false)
  {	
 if (strpos($file, '.mp3') !== false) {
   	$name = str_replace('.mp3', ' ', $file);
   	$files = str_replace(" ", "%20", $file);
       echo '<option value="http://'.$domain.'/'.$nameofdir.''.$file.'">'.$name.'</option>'."\n"; } 
  }
?>	
</select><br> 
<span id="music1"><embed type="application/x-mplayer2" id="music1"
pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" 
src=""

Hi,

If you want to simplify the script you could always use the new HTML5 standard <video> and <audio> tags.
This will make it compatible with Mac and Linux, as to my knowledge, WMP isn't compatible with Mac, and certainly isn't compatible with Linux.

http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/video.html#audio.

However, this isn't compatible with IE(they're hving enough problems, with HTML 4.01 compatibility)

IE HTML5 - Official Excuse

It depends whether this media player, is for public access, or whether you just want it to play your music @ work
