about header

[[deleted]]

$mp3_src="http://jd023.my.freedim.net/4.mp3";
//I get $mp3_src from database;
How can I send this $mp3_src to my visitors in a *.m3u file using headers,
I just mean what can I do if I want my visitors to get m3u files without
m3u files beening created on my server!just using headers!

thanks!!

Are .mp3 and .m3u files identical formats? I don't remember...

Anyway, what's the bit you're having trouble with? Retrieving the file from the server? Choosing the right MIME type for the Content-type? I for one wouldn't just give a finished solution without seeing some attempt on your part.

I can't really give you an answer jd023, but just to clarify for weedpacket and anyone else I believe an m3u is a playlist file. It's just an ASCII file containing only the URL of a mp3 file. I take it you don't want a bunch of m3u files for your mp3's you're streaming.

Well it sounds pretty straightforward, then. A suitable Content-Type (A 30sec search tells me "audio/mpegurl"), and echo out the URL. What's the problem?

well this nearly has nothing to do with m3u format
I just want to know how to header out a
m3u file using header s

eg:
in m3u file
http://myhost/1.mp3 //I just want to get this from a txt file using header

who can give the content type ?thanks
$fp=fopen("dat.dat","r");
$src=fgets($fp,255);
header("??")
???//this is my trouble

[Weedpacket]

I just did (or is it audio/m3u? I never did bother to seriously look).

thanks
I've made it

<?php
$fp=fopen("m3u_base.dat","r");
$src=fgets($fp,255);
fclose($fp);
header("Content-Type:audio/url");
//              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~this is soooooo important        

echo $src;
?>
