Has anyone had any experience with the getID3 script at all? Had a small idea for a project, and getID3 was idle for what I wanted to do, but setting it up isn't going to well.
When I unzip the file and stick it on my web server, all I get is an error saying my $root_path doesn't exist. I set the root path in the demo.browse.php file, so I can't see what the problem is.
Anyone else come across this when using it at all?

Big apologies for my late reply. Net went down not long after posting, and has only just come back up a few hours ago.
Thanks for the reply, Jcart. The error is a very simple: "$root_path not exist". In the config file it gives you an option to set the $root_path, which I did, but still get the same, small error.

Well, that's a very simple error. 
$root_path does not exist -- you're giving a bad path.. assuming the script is correct with it's coding.
Are you using a relative path or an absolute path?
I'd go with an absolute path in a script config file.
Or something similar.
You can check yourself using a simple code:

I'd go with an absolute path in a script config file.
Code: Select all
$root_path = '/home/me/';You can check yourself using a simple code:

<?php
echo is_dir('the value you set for $root_path') ? 'yep, $root_path exists' : 'could not find $root_path ;(';Set Search Time - A google chrome extension.
