    Working with MP3 ID3 Tags in FTP Server Using PHP - Getting Down to ID3 Tag Editing


    (Page 4 of 4 )

    Step 7: Let’s assume your mp3 folder is accessible via a web browser at this address: http://www.php-developer.org/mp3forme/

     

    In that case, type this URL in the browser:

     

    http://www.php-developer.org/mp3forme/demo.browse.php

     

    Step 8: What you will see is the list of files for editing. It lists both mp3 and php files, but you can only edit the MP3 files' ID3 tag. See screenshot below (inside the red box):

     

     

    Step 9: After you have clicked the “edit tags” link under the edit column, you will be presented with a form to use for editing ID3 values. Personally, I use ID3v1 standard, so this means I will only enter:

    a. Artist name

    b. Title

    c. Comment

    But the form can accept more options for ID3 tag editing; it accepts id3v2.3 as of version 1.7.9. A sample completed form is shown below:

     

     

    Step 10: After completing the changes, click the “Save changes” button. If the changes are successful you will see the following message at the top of the form:

    starting to write tag(s)

    Successfully wrote tags

    Do the same for the rest of the files. This is a faster approach than the traditional download -> edit ID3 tags in your computer -> upload again, which consumes a lot of time.

    If there are PHP-related errors in the application, it is because your hosting company has disabled some of the functions used to run the application. In this case, contact your hosting company and ask them to enable those functions if possible.
