// Live 365 PHP song info script
// By Sam Storie <sstorie@d.umn.edu>
// Check out The Vibe at http://www.thevibe.ws to see this script in action!
//
// Requirements:
// PHP running on the web server
// The ability to use virtual includes(SSI) on your pages
//
// Description: This will poll the Live365 song_info cgi function and retrieve the
// information for the current song playing and print it out in plain english.
// One requirement is that the ID3 tag should be filled out correctly or else
// the wording will be goofy. You can edit the print-out as you wish though.
//
// To correctly run the script you need to call it with your handle name.
// This is done by using a virtual include on the html page you want the
// script to show the song info. But you need to change the $station variable
// below to your user name. It's done like this:
//
// 
//
// You may also use ?station=YOUR_HANDLE after the location of the script when you call the script.
//
// An example would be:
//
// 
//
// This allows you to poll multiple stations with just one script like I do at The Vibe.
//
// I am by no means an good PHP programmer so if you find a better method to
// do what this does then please e-mail me and tell me. Also send me any problems
// you may have.
