I dont know if anyone can help but i'll see i have a large mp3 collection and i want a way for ppl to view them.(look at the image for an idea of what i want ) i know its not goona be easy. but i want to know what you guys think i should do it in (i was thinking php,mysql,css) but what do you guys think. Im not a php master or anything but i know some to get me around .
PHP, mySQL and CSS is the way to go IMO, you may even be able to find a prewitten script that matches those requirements. I'm pretty new to PHP but I did something similar to that in about a day (learning on the job) if you have any coding experience PHP is very easy to learn IMO
i have a script that does it for me now but i wan the "albums" to show up when you pick a artist , and the songs when you pick a album (i use kplaylist right now very nice but i have out growen it{its too big})
Your screenshoot doesnt show up. I would say search in Google to see if there are prewritten scripts ready to use. If not, then code yourself. You want to allow people to download?
yes i want people to download fomr my server. (sorry my home server was down for some updates) i know i well have to code it by hand (already have a script but its too large but very good Kplaylist) but i dont know where to start. im still new to php so im haveing some problems with it.
I'd say you've got two distinct challenges here. The first is to write a quality interface using XHTML / CSS. You'll want the interface to have expanding capability, good layout etc. To me, this seems like an almost textbook example of where to use XML. The second is a way of scanning your collection, and storing the details in some form of data structure. I'd say that mySQL is a little to heavyweight for the task. While it depends how regularly you want to update, i'd say this task is a textbook example of where to use an XML / XSL combo. Write an app to generate a well-formed (and designed) XML file containing the details of your collection, then upload it to your website and use an XML object (such as Microsoft's) to transform it using an XSL style sheet - job done, no hardcore scripting required :-D www.w3schools.com is a good place to start with XML and XSL.
