i'm trying to get a script working for our website to display shoutcast information from a shoutcast server. i need it to display dj name, current id3 tag, last 5 or 10 songs.

i have the script that supposedly does it, but i don't know how to configure it and get it displayed on our web page.

What do you get if you try to view the page in your browser? Does the script actually execute, or do you just see the PHP source code?

If you visit scxml.php in your browser, does the page display the songs? If so, move scxml.php , scxml-obj.php , config.php , and sc-small.gif to their own folder.

After you do that, rename your index page index.php instead of index.html and put a file called .htaccess (notice the dot) into the DocumentRoot directory if it’s not already there. In that file, put this:

Code: Select all

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

Or edit the line already there so that index.php comes before index.html .

Then, if your home page still works, put the following at the top of it and make sure you don’t get any errors afterward:

Code: Select all

<?php
include('/path/to/scxml.php');
?>

Keep in mind that absolute paths in include() start at root of your file system, not your Web site.

Then take that large block of echo statements out of scxml.php , with a <?php added at the beginning and a ?> at the end, and place it into index.php at whichever point you want it to appear. If that works, you’ll have to modify the HTML within the echo statements, because it will likely mess up the layout of your page (and you shouldn’t have two <html> elements, <body> elements, etc.). Remember to escape the HTML’s quotation marks like they have done.

You can echo those variables on other pages too, so long as you put the include line at the top and give the page a .php extension.

You might want to copy your home page to a test directory and get it working there first! Also, includes are a good way to centralize things that repeat themselves in every page – sidebars, headers, footers, etc. Adding something to your sidebar would mean editing just one file instead of every page on your site.
