How to read/write id3 tags in php 7?

Question

There is a list of functions for id3 http://php.net/manual/ref.id3.php. It requires pecl package http://pecl.php.net/package/id3. Both versions of that package is alpha, but that is not the main problem.

pear/id3 requires PHP (version >= 4.3.0, version <= 6.0.0), installed version is 7.2.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1

How can I read and write ID3 tags in PHP 7?

Answer 1

I faced with the same problem, after some searching I stopped on https://github.com/JamesHeinrich/getID3

<?php

require 'vendor/getID3/getid3/getid3.php';

// Initialize getID3 engine
$getID3 = new getID3;

// Analyze file and store returned data in $ThisFileInfo
$ThisFileInfo = $getID3->analyze('some mp3 file.mp3');

print_r($ThisFileInfo);
