Use PHP to display Icecast2 statistics

Question

I have some problems viewing statistics (viewers, current game, etc.) with PHP, and I cannot find any information on how to do this.

There are several XLS files included in Icecast2, and I can include these files with PHP on my website, but I do not want to update the DIV that the inclusion occurs every 5 seconds, and this will not work with XLS files.

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the code. I made a class from it and added some checks, so it does not complain when the server is down. Since I took it from here, I will share the class back:

<?php class IceCast { var $server = "http://localhost:8000"; var $stats_file = "/status.xsl"; var $radio_info=array(); function __construct() { //build array to store our radio stats for later use $this->radio_info['server'] = $this->server; $this->radio_info['title'] = 'Offline'; $this->radio_info['description'] = 'Radio offline'; $this->radio_info['content_type'] = ''; $this->radio_info['mount_start'] = ''; $this->radio_info['bit_rate'] = ''; $this->radio_info['listeners'] = ''; $this->radio_info['most_listeners'] = ''; $this->radio_info['genre'] = ''; $this->radio_info['url'] = ''; $this->radio_info['now_playing'] = array(); $this->radio_info['now_playing']['artist'] = 'Unknown'; $this->radio_info['now_playing']['track'] = 'Unknown'; } function setUrl($url) { $this->server=$url; $this->radio_info['server'] = $this->server; } private function fetch() { //create a new curl resource $ch = curl_init(); //set url curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$this->server.$this->stats_file); //return as a string curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); //$output = our stauts.xsl file $output = curl_exec($ch); //close curl resource to free up system resources curl_close($ch); return $output; } function getStatus() { $output=$this->fetch(); //loop through $ouput and sort into our different arrays $temp_array = array(); $search_for = "<td\s[^>]*class=\"streamdata\">(.*)<\/td>"; $search_td = array('<td class="streamdata">','</td>'); if(preg_match_all("/$search_for/siU",$output,$matches)) { foreach($matches[0] as $match) { $to_push = str_replace($search_td,'',$match); $to_push = trim($to_push); array_push($temp_array,$to_push); } } if(count($temp_array)) { //sort our temp array into our ral array $this->radio_info['title'] = $temp_array[0]; $this->radio_info['description'] = $temp_array[1]; $this->radio_info['content_type'] = $temp_array[2]; $this->radio_info['mount_start'] = $temp_array[3]; $this->radio_info['bit_rate'] = $temp_array[4]; $this->radio_info['listeners'] = $temp_array[5]; $this->radio_info['most_listeners'] = $temp_array[6]; $this->radio_info['genre'] = $temp_array[7]; $this->radio_info['url'] = $temp_array[8]; if(isset($temp_array[9])) { $x = explode(" - ",$temp_array[9]); $this->radio_info['now_playing']['artist'] = $x[0]; $this->radio_info['now_playing']['track'] = $x[1]; } } return $this->radio_info; } } ?>

Using this code, I got it:

 <?php /* * SCRIPT CONFIGURATIONS */ $SERVER = 'http://myserver.com:8000'; //URL TO YOUR ICECAST SERVER $STATS_FILE = '/status.xsl'; //PATH TO STATUS.XSL PAGE YOU CAN SEE IN YOUR BROWSER (LEAVE BLANK UNLESS DIFFERENT) ///////////////////// END OF CONFIGURATION --- DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ //create a new curl resource $ch = curl_init(); //set url curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$SERVER.$STATS_FILE); //return as a string curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); //$output = our stauts.xsl file $output = curl_exec($ch); //close curl resource to free up system resources curl_close($ch); //build array to store our radio stats for later use $radio_info = array(); $radio_info['server'] = $SERVER; $radio_info['title'] = ''; $radio_info['description'] = ''; $radio_info['content_type'] = ''; $radio_info['mount_start'] = ''; $radio_info['bit_rate'] = ''; $radio_info['listeners'] = ''; $radio_info['most_listeners'] = ''; $radio_info['genre'] = ''; $radio_info['url'] = ''; $radio_info['now_playing'] = array(); $radio_info['now_playing']['artist'] = ''; $radio_info['now_playing']['track'] = ''; //loop through $ouput and sort into our different arrays $temp_array = array(); $search_for = "<td\s[^>]*class=\"streamdata\">(.*)<\/td>"; $search_td = array('<td class="streamdata">','</td>'); if(preg_match_all("/$search_for/siU",$output,$matches)) { foreach($matches[0] as $match) { $to_push = str_replace($search_td,'',$match); $to_push = trim($to_push); array_push($temp_array,$to_push); } } //sort our temp array into our ral array $radio_info['title'] = $temp_array[0]; $radio_info['description'] = $temp_array[1]; $radio_info['content_type'] = $temp_array[2]; $radio_info['mount_start'] = $temp_array[3]; $radio_info['bit_rate'] = $temp_array[4]; $radio_info['listeners'] = $temp_array[5]; $radio_info['most_listeners'] = $temp_array[6]; $radio_info['genre'] = $temp_array[7]; $radio_info['url'] = $temp_array[8]; $x = explode(" - ",$temp_array[9]); $radio_info['now_playing']['artist'] = $x[0]; $radio_info['now_playing']['track'] = $x[1]; ?>

Please take a look at my answer here , why it is a very bad idea to use this script.
tl; dr: You should not analyze the Icecast HTML status page.
