Date Array and Wav Files !!

Mad_T

I have this simple bit of code:

$_entered_date = "05122009";
$_day = substr($_entered_date,0,2);
$_month = substr($_entered_date,2,2);
$_year = substr($_entered_date,4,4);

$_corrected_date = date("Y/m/d",strtotime($_year . "/" . $_month . "/" . $_day));

Obviously I can echo $_corrected_date to screen and get 2009/12/05.

I have recorded wav files for
each day of the week (Mon - Sun)
Each Month ( Jan - Dec)
Years ( 2009 - 2012)

How would I get the right combination of wav files based on the $_entered_date ??

I know how to use date() to get MON, TUE, JAN, FEB etc..

I know I could do a
if $day == "Mon" }wav="mon.wav"
if $day == "Tue" }wav="tue.wav"

etc through the days, months and years.. but there must be a simpler way !!

Thanks 🙂

You could always do a switch.... or so something like:

<?php

$_entered_date = "05122009";
$_day = substr($_entered_date,0,2);
$_month = substr($_entered_date,2,2);
$_year = substr($_entered_date,4,4);
$timestamp = mktime(0, 0, 0, $_month, $_day, $_year);

$mp3 = '/path/to/mp3/dir/';

$day = file_get_contents($mp3.date('D', $timestamp).'.mp3');
$month = file_get_contents($mp3.date('M', $timestamp).'.mp3');
$year = file_get_contents($mp3.date('Y', $timestamp).'.mp3');

header('Content-Type: audio/mp3');
echo $day.$month.$year;

Something like that. I'm not sure about the last part (the header) but that's the basic idea. Just read the files you want. No need for if's switches etc.

Can you explain that bit to me ???
And would that work with wav files ??

Thanks 🙂

Thanks got it sorted thanks 🙂

Anyone know where I can get packs of wav files that contain day of week, date, month , year ???

I don't know of any premade packs. It's not too difficult to record yourself though. Just make recordings of you saying each month and day name. As for the year, you'd probably have to record the following items:
numbers 1 - 9, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, "And", "Thousand", "Hundred" then you could combine them to make any date:

19 [- "Hundred" - "And"] - 97
2 "Thousand" [- "And"] - 9
17 [- "Hundred" - "And"] - 76

Yes, you can combine wav files to make one giant wav file. Just make sure you're outputting the file contents and not the file names 😉 The Content-Type you'd send with a wave is "audo/x-wav" and for mp3 you'd use "audio/mpeg".

Hope that helps.

bpat1434 - Thanks for all your help 🙂

Could you point me in the right direction of how to do this ??

If $day, $month & $year = 5th.wav, Dec.wav, 2009.wav how do I combine them into one file ??

Thanks 🙂

<?php

$day = date('D', $timestamp);
$month = date('M', $timestamp);
$year = date('Y', $timestamp);

$mp3dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wavs/';

$day = file_get_contents($mp3dir.$day.'.wav');
$month = file_get_contents($mp3dir.$month.'.wav');
$year = file_get_contents($mp3dir.$year.'.wav');

header('Content-Type: audio/x-wav');
echo $day.$month.$year;

Couldn't be any easier than that 😉

Thanks 🙂 Managed to get it sorted.

No I need to split the date out so I can create the wav files 20.wav + 1st.wav for 21st !!
