XLVIII. ID3 Functions
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.
id3 is part of PECL and can be installed using the PEAR installer.
To compile PHP with id3 support, download the sourcecode, put it in
php-src/ext/id3 and compile PHP using --enable-id3.
Most of the id3 functions either let you specify
or return a tag version. In order to specify the version
please use on of these constants.
- ID3_V1_0
(integer)
ID3_V1_0 is used if you are working with
ID3 V1.0 tags. These tags may contain the fields title, artist,
album, genre, year and comment.
- ID3_V1_1
(integer)
ID3_V1_1 is used if you are working with
ID3 V1.1 tags. These tags may all information contained in v1.0
tags plus the track number.
- ID3_V2
(integer)
ID3_V2 is used if you are working with
ID3 V2.x tags. These tags are quite flexible and are currently
not supported by the id3 extension.

There are several highly developed id3 reader classes written in php that
include id3v2 support, and support for other file formats (not just mpeg
& id3). I recommend http://getid3.sourceforge.net/ as
well as the id3 reader class integrated in the Zina is not Andromeda
project (http://pancake.org/zina.html)
