Large Media Collection – HELP

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 07.2008

I have a large collection of MP3 files on a SBS2003 machine. Currently, I just have a raw web connection – meaning, I can browse all of my songs, but it’s just text – no HTML, PHP.. nothing on the top layer.

Is there a way to have PHP make this collection more visually appealing? Of course there is, I just haven’t seen it.

The typical file structure is ARTIST | ALBUMS | SONGs

or FOLDER | FOLDER | MP3

Any ideas are appreciated… the simpler, the better… I want this to be light.

@SyCoNov 07.2008 — Yes you can do this easily enough. You need a recursive function that opens a directory and looks at the content. If it's a file it displays the name (with link) and if its a folder, the function calls itself to open the new folder and start the process again.

Here's a link to a script that should get you started

The main functions you'll need are

opendir

readdir

is_dir (or is_file)

Read the user notes on those pages, they should give you all the code you need.

Success!
