Get the duration of an audiofile

Kirby 4 Issues 🪲

I’m trying to display the duration of an audio file without playing it.
Is that possible with a simple thing?
<?php dump($file) ?> doesn’t seem to get that info. Is there another way?
thanks.

I don’t think there is a function out of the box with Kirby but you can use a library like getID3 or ffprobe .

Below is an example using GetID3:

// Path to your audio file
$audioFilePath = 'path/to/audio.mp3';

// Initialize getID3
$getID3 = new getID3;

// Analyze the audio file
$audioFileInfo = $getID3->analyze($audioFilePath);

// Get the duration
$durationInSeconds = $audioFileInfo['playtime_seconds'];

echo "Audio duration: {$durationInSeconds} seconds\n";

But you will need to check your hosing if either libs are available
