is there a way to do it php?

like the file uploading class maybe?

[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
No, not to my knowledge. PHP is not an MP3/media player - that's what ffmpeg is for. You wouldn't use notepad to edit a DVD, would you?

But even in the file uploading class, it uses a graphics library (normally GD2) for image manipulation
So you would just use PHP as a wrapper for something such as ffmpeg like fuzzy suggested


@Fuzz: I might not use notepad for DVD editing, but Notepad++ makes it so easy

Never a bad time to brush up on your PHP functions...

Code:

exec('ffmpeg -t 30 -acodec copy -i inputfile.mp3 outputfile.mp3');

More info at http://us.php.net/exec

Colin Williams,

like how am i gonna pass my mp3 file to that code?

[eluser]Colin Williams[/eluser]
That's what the "inputfile.mp3" part of the command is for.

Consider this after your upload

Code:

$info = $this->upload->data();
$input_file = $info['full_path'];
$output_file = $info['file_path'] .'sample_'. $info['orig_name'];
$result = exec("ffmpeg -t 30 -acodec copy -i $input_file $output_file");

Colin Williams,

have done this before?

mine, doesn't save it into another filename...

it's blank...

maybe the code for this audio clipping in ffmpeg is not right or something?
