Need PHP Song History Help!!!

everett · 14th February 2002, 21:19

Hey guys,
The forums here have been extemely helpful, but I have one final problem that remains to be solved. I'm using PHP to display the current song and number of listeners on my website. Everything is working fine, but I would like to display the last 10 to 20 songs played. I know that the Shoutcast server writes to a history log and I have mine set to update the log every 30 seconds. Is there any way to have the log updated only after each new song? Or, is there a different way to keep track of the previously played songs, and have them logged in a way that is useable by PHP? Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

http://www.hotscripts.com there was a script in the php listing for some while... just search the listing for shoutcast.. if it's still there it will show up.. otherwise use the xml stats... and a xml parsers... you prolly get some errors.. to go around them.... make a cronjob fetching the xml stats and save them locally ... and make a parser for the local file... made a script once, but i don't have it anymore... but maybe it's still somewhere on the forums here..

Oh don't ask if i can write it again.. cause for now i won't too busy with other things

Just a pre-note :P

Hey thanks for the info. I checked out HostScripts but the only script that they had to retain song history was offline. Should I try doing this in ASP? Before I get ahead of myself, I'm not a programmer, and I'm just looking for an easy reliable way of doing this. Thanks again,

hello

I'm using the php script called : SHOUTcast Status
from casterclub.com and it works fine for me. If you a little into php you can customize this script! it's very eazy.

Hmmm this script is for unix platform... is there the same for windows xp pro?

This script is written in PHP, its' for win and X. the only thing you need is a local webserver like apache.org or something else that support php and the php4 Module installed on your winXP box.

Windows Binaries
All Windows binaries can be used on Windows 95/98/Me and on Windows NT/2000/XP >> php.net

My website hoster use this kind of webserver and this script in actions looks like
that

If there is a simple soloution anywhere I'm interessed too
