    Hi!

    I will attemt to build a search engine for mp3 files from all over the internet, using PHP and MySQL.

    I want to index al files found in a database.

    Any tips for me on doing this? Is there any open source script I can start off my using and modifying?

    All help is highly appreciated.

    I've been searching a lot and found a lot of scripts, but I don't know which one would work best for this..

    Thanks!

    Ricky

    Be much easier to make a script yourself from scratch.

    Just create a simple upload script to upload your MP3 files that grabs the name of the file and indexes it into the database.

    Then frontend you just need to have a form that submits a value to a search query which scans the database and outputs the result along with file location.

    If you'd like a little help, I'd be able to offer my services for a small fee.

    Cheers,
    Dale.

    Sounds like you just want to get random file type by name and extension. The fact that the file is .mp3 is just a coincidence.

    If I were you I'd look for something that fetches the .mp3 files decodes it and extract the inner file date such as artist , song name , album and such . That sounds far more useful just running a reg ex trough a db .
