I splice the ID3 tags onto the front of an MP3 stream in PHP on this site: http://uncommonground.com/ The id3 library in PHP is quite good at this, but needs a maintainer...

Well, it is a start, now only processing work needs to be done :) To convert from MP3 to Wave for example, I think this will require the LAME lib, and to use with OGG, it will require the OGGvorbis lib. But about WMA, I never saw a Linux lib for it. So that would require creating a new lib for WMA, or directly implementing it into the PHP source. So the MP3 and OGG support shouldn't bee too hard to implement, but other file formats might be harder. And now I'm only talking about Audio, my first idea was to implement Video (Audio+Video). Video is even more advanced, then we should work with DivX and XviD codecs. (Thank god, they are Open Source). But having this support for video, it would be possible to easily create a site like youtube, where they even have a "screenshot" of the movie, which is actually just a frame in the middle of the file. And of course it would be possible to resize the video files. Kind Regards, Tijnema

Hello Tijnema, cool, have a look at the site then. If Ilia didn't update it just wait a bit - we are having network problems here during the conference. best regards marcus

Hi, I read a lot of text, just for information and i like the idea of GSoC. There are some interesting things on the PHP Ideas list, and it looks like this idea is the simplest one. As the phpt file structure is quite easy and there's (AFAIK) no knowledge of C/C++ needed. Only a little bit PHP programming, and writing the expected result :) But i have also some ideas, but i have no idea if it is possible or useful in PHP. For example i'd like to see support for handling audio/video files in PHP, to do all kind of music processing in PHP, or create music streams directly from within a website. I haven't seen this on any other web based programming language yet. Kind Regards, Tijnema ps. Yes i know the oggvorbis PECL package, but this is only for OGG.

Hello Ilia, of course we can. The question is how do we find a student for

ideas we

have? best regards marcus

I'm a student :)

I'm not sure what the requirements for this are, but i've

programmed a

lot in PHP and C/C++.

Ca we have a project designed to improve code coverage of PHP by creating .phpt tests? I may not seem like a complex project, but in terms of improving PHP as a language it would be exceptionally useful. Probably more so then any one extension that can come out of GSoC.
