In the internet I can find a lot of informations about php_id3.dll developed by THE PHP Group. But the most links are not longer exist anymore. I am looking for a php_id3.dll for windows server 2019, to access informations from a mp3 file.
Could somebody explain me, what the mystery about this php_id3.dll is? Is it not longer available?
Is there another solution, where I can get id3 information from a php program?
The ID3-related pages do not exist on the official PHP website anymore, but you can easily have a look on them using the web archive, e.g.: https://web.archive.org/web/20200314011819/https://www.php.net/manual/en/id3.installation.php
The official PECL page of this old extension is here: https://pecl.php.net/package/id3. But it clearly says it is not maintained anymore.
Still, you can find the DLL in a few places: https://github.com/maryo/php-5.5-windows-extensions/tree/master/php_id3-0.2-5.5-vc11-x86 or https://fossies.org/windows/www/pecl-5.2.6-Win32.zip/.
These being said, even if you manage to make one of the DDLs work, you should most probably use something that is not 15 years old.
After a quick search, there are several ID3-capable libraries on packagist, I would start testing the most popular one: https://packagist.org/?query=ID3
