Read contents of zip file and Get info stored in an ID3 tag

[cybercampbell]

Hi again

I have a zip file with an mp3 in it. what i would like to do is have a script that reads the ID3 tag info from the mp3 stored in the zip file.

I found this info on reading zip file but it's all a bit confussing.

<?php

$zip = zip_open("/tmp/test2.zip");

if ($zip) {

    while ($zip_entry = zip_read($zip)) {
        echo "Name:               " . zip_entry_name($zip_entry) . "\n";
        echo "Actual Filesize:    " . zip_entry_filesize($zip_entry) . "\n";
        echo "Compressed Size:    " . zip_entry_compressedsize($zip_entry) . "\n";
        echo "Compression Method: " . zip_entry_compressionmethod($zip_entry) . "\n";

        if (zip_entry_open($zip, $zip_entry, "r")) {
            echo "File Contents:\n";
            $buf = zip_entry_read($zip_entry, zip_entry_filesize($zip_entry));
            echo "$buf\n";

            zip_entry_close($zip_entry);
        }
        echo "\n";

    }

    zip_close($zip);

}

?>

and this on getting the ID3 tag info:

<?php
$tag = id3_get_tag( "path/to/example2.mp3", ID3_V2_3 );
print_r($tag);
?>

Array
(
[title] => DN-38416
[artist] => Re:\Legion
[album] => Reflections
[year] => 2004
[genre] => 19
)


Any ideas on how to put this together?

even a starting pointer whould be great.

Cheers
Chris

I suspect you are going to need to extract the file from the ZIP into a temperary location, use the id3_get_tag to read from the temp location, save that value into the database, and then next time call from the database instead of doing everything else.

for a few reason I have to try this way.

I've look at the zip reading code and it apears that it can read the contents of the zip file:

(zip_entry_open($zip, $zip_entry, "r")) {
echo "File Contents:\n";
$buf = zip_entry_read($zip_entry, zip_entry_filesize($zip_entry));
echo "$buf\n";

zip_entry_close($zip_entry); 

so am I correct in saying it's posible to read the ID3tags from that mp3 file?

if it can be done i'de like to push on with it.

Cheers

Hello ! What a beautifull idea ! Y client is a deejay and he upload alot of zip compressed mpt archives for users to downloads. But that give a lots of job to describe each time thé music content to the visitors or for my client to put mixes on his website. Those mp3 are heavy for uploading so it will be more pleasent if it's not nesseary to extract content for get the information on the Mp3 Id3 tag inside...

I'll look foward too, if I try to develope this Idea...
