You would have to replace a space with a "+"

-> Get the content of

HTML Code:

<div class="imgHolder"></div>

using eregi

Good luck ;)

so i have to add each band/artist manually

isnt there a simpler code to just stick into the stats so it grabs it from the sound file playing because SAM can read it :S

Just get the artist out of the Now Playing (try exploding by " - " and then using $variable[0] to get the artist name) and then just put that into the URL you want to query.

i have mine working but it always adds %20's and never works. And with URL Decode it messes up

I have this working with spaces etc.

PHP Code:

<?php
$artist = $_GET['artist'];

$artist = urldecode($artist);

$url = "http://www.last.fm/music/" . $artist . "/";
$url = eregi_replace(" ", "+", $url);

$data = file_get_contents($url);

$image1start = explode('<div class="imgHolder">', $data);
$image1end = explode('</div>', $image1start[1]);
$image1 = trim($image1end[0]);

$imagestart = explode('<img src="', $image1);
$imageend = explode('" alt', $imagestart[1]);
$image = trim($imageend[0]);

echo '<img src="' . $image . '">';

?>

?>

echo $song_data_exploded[0];
