Read audio files from a directory and create a playlist with data from a JSON file

<?php /* URL Query Sting is series */ $series = $_GET['series']; $files = glob("../$series/*.{mp3,MP3,m4a,M4A}", GLOB_BRACE); $filename = glob("../$series/*.{mp3,MP3,m4a,M4A}", GLOB_BRACE); /* JSON data file */ $url = "../$series/data.json"; // path to your JSON file $data = file_get_contents($url); // put the contents of the file into a variable $info = json_decode($data); // decode the JSON feed $title = $info[0]->title; $year = $info[0]->year; $showinfo = $info[0]->info; ?> /* Export JSON Key values */ <div> <?php echo($title); ?> </div> <div> <?php echo($year); ?> </div> <div> <?php echo ($showinfo); ?> </div> <?php $html = ""; for ($i=0; $i<count($files); $i++) { $fileTitle = $filename[$i] ; $path_parts = pathinfo($filename[$i]); $num = $files[$i]; $listName = $path_parts['filename']; $html .= "<div class='playPodcast' audioURL='$num'><span class='pod-title link'> $listName </span></div>"; } echo($html); ?>
This uses an html query string with php glob to read the only the audio files of an upper level directory creating an audio playlist with information derived from a json data file.
