PHP ID3 Extension

A PHP Library for Editing MP3 Tags (id3)

These functions let you read and manipulate ID3 tags. ID3 tags are used in MP3 files to store title of the song, as well as information about the artist, album, genre, year and track number. Since version 0.2 it is also possible to extract text frames from ID3 v2.2+ tags.

Dependencies

Make sure you have these packages before going to Installation of the extension

1. gcc
2. php
3. php-devel

Installation

1. Use 'git clone' to make a copy of this repository :

   git clone https://github.com/rseyf/php-id3.git

2. Change current Directory to the id3-0.2 directory :

   cd php-id3/id3-0.2

3. Install Everything :

   sudo phpize && ./configure && make && make test && make install

4. Add 'id3.so' to the end of your 'php.ini' file :

   sudo echo -n "extension=id3.so" >> /etc/php.ini

TIP1: To find your php.ini file location run : 'php -i | grep php.ini'

php-id3's Issues

It doesn't seem to work on PHP 7+

When I try to run pecl install --force id3, I get the following warning:

pear/id3 requires PHP (version >= 4.3.0, version <= 6.0.0), installed version is 7.4.1

And then the instalation gives me an error. Full output:

# pecl install --force id3
WARNING: failed to download pecl.php.net/id3 within preferred state "stable", will instead download version 0.2, stability "alpha"
warning: pear/id3 requires PHP (version >= 4.3.0, version <= 6.0.0), installed version is 7.4.1

Cannot find config.m4.
Make sure that you run '/usr/local/bin/phpize' in the top level source directory of the module

ERROR: `phpize' failed

When I try to manually install it cloning the repository and running the suggested commands, make fails (its full output is kinda big so I won't post it here unless it's asked).

I wish I had the knowledge to provide a PR to fix this, but unfortunately I don't

‘ENFORCE_SAFE_MODE’ undeclared

I tried to install this id3 extension on my machine but getting many issues when trying to run make command. Like
id3.c:291:74: error: ‘ENFORCE_SAFE_MODE’ undeclared (first use in this function)
id3.c:296:4: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘break’
id3.c:384:63: error: macro "add_assoc_stringl" passed 5 arguments, but takes just 4 add_assoc_stringl(return_value, "title", title, bytes_read, 1);

Many more. Can you please check all the issues and fixed theme.
Thanks,
