RE: [PHP] converting multiple URL values for the same variable into an array From: Kurt Lieber (php <email protected>)

I should also clarify that .pls is set up as a PHP extension and the
page is being interpreted by the PHP engine.

Subject: [PHP] converting multiple URL values for the same variable into
an array

I'm modifying some code for ampache (ampache.kveton.com) and have run
into a snag that I'm not sure I understand completely.

Part of the code produces a URL similar to the following:

http://myhost/playlist.pls?song=100&song=101&song=102

and $song then gets passed to this function:

function get_song_path_from_id ( $song ) {
  GLOBAL $dbh, $db_name;

  $songs = '';
  $count = 0;

  if ( is_array( $song ) ) {
    while ( list($k,$v) = each($song) ) {
      //does some cool stuff
    }
  }
  else {
    //does some other stuff
  }
  return ($songs);
}

So, am I correct in assuming that $song will never be considered an
array? (basically, given the above code and URL, $song will always equal
102)

I'm new to PHP, and since I didn't write the original code, I'm not sure
if this is a bug, or something that I just don't fully understand.
Assuming it is a bug, can anyone offer some suggestions on how to take
the URL and parse it out and input the values into an array called
$song?
(get_song_path_from_id() is used by several other parts of the code, so
any modifications to that code would need to leave the rest of the
functionality
intact)

Thanks.

P.S. If anyone is looking for a simple, easy-to-use (and set up) mp3
manager, I highly recommend ampache. It doesn't have a bunch of bells &
whistles (which I don't want) -- it simply provides a simple, effective
way to manage playlists and play your mp3 songs from anywhere.
