evaluating an array element

[bdog01]

im trying to modify a php file to fit my needs. the file reads a directory and returns the id3 tag info from mp3 files.

ive almost got it but im stuck on these lines of code

i have these 2 lines inside the while function

if ($output) $output .= "|";
$output .= ($ThisFileInfo['comments_html']['title']);

then the last thing it does is....
echo "&files=$output&";

lets say it runs through the loop for the 4 mp3's in the directory.

with the code how it is i get this as ouput

&files=Array|Array|Array|Array&

if i remove the () i get page cannot be displayed

i have also tried putting the variable name inside "" and ''. both of which do not work.

here is the full code

$DirectoryToScan = '../'; // change to whatever directory you want to scan
$dir = opendir($DirectoryToScan);
while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) {
$FullFileName = realpath($DirectoryToScan.'/'.$file);
if (is_file($FullFileName)) {
set_time_limit(30);

	$ThisFileInfo = $getID3->analyze($FullFileName);

	getid3_lib::CopyTagsToComments($ThisFileInfo);

	// output desired information in whatever format you want


		if ($output) $output .= "|";
		$output .= ($ThisFileInfo['comments_html']['title']);		


}

}
echo "&files=$output&";
?>
</BODY>

Hi,

first:

add a ini_set("error_reporting",E_ALL);

to the top of the page and post the result:

Second:
Try to remove the $output stuff and replace it by

print_r($ThisFileInfo);

Post one of the print_r outputs.

The print_r should print the array in a readable way.

The problem might be how you try to access the values.

Where do you create the instance of the getID3 class ($getID3->analyze($fullFileName)) ?
