FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Quick Start

Q: How can I check that getID3() works on my server/files?

A: Unzip getID3() to a directory, then access /demos/demo.browse.php

Support

Q: I have a question, or I found a bug. What do I do?

A: The preferred method of support requests and/or bug reports is the forum at http://support.getid3.org/

Sourceforge Notification

It's highly recommended that you sign up for notification from Sourceforge for when new versions are released. Please visit: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=55859 and click the little "monitor package" icon/link. If you're previously signed up for the mailing list, be aware that it has been discontinued, only the automated Sourceforge notification will be used from now on.

Requirements

Installation

The preferred method is via composer. Follow the installation instructions if you do not already have composer installed.

Once composer is installed, execute the following command in your project root to install this library:

Usage

See /demos/demo.basic.php for a very basic use of getID3() with no fancy output, just scanning one file.

See structure.txt for the returned data structure.

For an example of a complete directory-browsing, file-scanning implementation of getID3(), please run /demos/demo.browse.php

See /demos/demo.mysql.php for a sample recursive scanning code that scans every file in a given directory, and all sub-directories, stores the results in a database and allows various analysis / maintenance operations

To analyze remote files over HTTP or FTP you need to copy the file locally first before running getID3(). Your code would look something like this:

See /demos/demo.write.php for how to write tags.

What does the returned data structure look like?

See structure.txt

It is recommended that you look at the output of /demos/demo.browse.php scanning the file(s) you're interested in to confirm what data is actually returned for any particular filetype in general, and your files in particular, as the actual data returned may vary considerably depending on what information is available in the file itself.

Notes

getID3() 1.x:

If the format parser encounters a critical problem, it will return something in $fileinfo['error'], describing the encountered error. If a less critical error or notice is generated it will appear in $fileinfo['warning']. Both keys may contain more than one warning or error. If something is returned in ['error'] then the file was not correctly parsed and returned data may or may not be correct and/or complete. If something is returned in ['warning'] (and not ['error']) then the data that is returned is OK - usually getID3() is reporting errors in the file that have been worked around due to known bugs in other programs. Some warnings may indicate that the data that is returned is OK but that some data could not be extracted due to errors in the file.

getID3() 2.x:

See above except errors are thrown (so you will only get one error).

Disclaimer

getID3() has been tested on many systems, on many types of files, under many operating systems, and is generally believe to be stable and safe. That being said, there is still the chance there is an undiscovered and/or unfixed bug that may potentially corrupt your file, especially within the writing functions. By using getID3() you agree that it's not my fault if any of your files are corrupted. In fact, I'm not liable for anything :)

FAQ:

Q: Can I use getID3() in my program? Do I need a commercial license?

A: You're generally free to use getID3 however you see fit. The only case in which you would require a commercial license is if you're selling your closed-source program that integrates getID3. If you sell your program including a copy of getID3, that's fine as long as you include a copy of the sourcecode when you sell it. Or you can distribute your code without getID3 and say "download it from getid3.sourceforge.net"

Why is it called "getID3()" if it does so much more than just that?

v0.1 did in fact just do that. I don't have a copy of code that old, but I could essentially write it today with a one-line function:
