Creating a file dynamically

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

Creating a file dynamically

Post by prasad90 »

Can sombody help me to how create a file dynamically. My requirement is to make a re(*.ra) file with users input so that real player can play it continuesly.

The client browser should get a dynamic *.ra file with all the songs he is selected so that realplayer will be activated automatically

regards :D

is .ra the actual datafile or a pointer to the real datastream?
Sorry, I banned realplayer completely from my system (and my mind :twisted: )

The *.ra file is the actual real audio file. prasad90 will need to check
on the real audio site & forums for this, as I feel sure he will need a licensed version of something like Real Producer and info on accessing it's interface programatically (probably via DLL) to create *.ra files.

On the other hand - *ram files are easy - just text files containing the URL pointing to the actual *.ra file.

If you are looking to grab some audio and encode to real audio (or any other format) there is no "point and click, copy and paste" solution that I know of.

Here is a link (given to me by someone - thanks!) to some software for mp3 file manipulations - http://lame.sourceforge.net/
The process seems quite involved...
