Well this is how you would do it... (Would be a picture of the artists)

-> Get artist name
-> Get files contents of the artist - http://www.last.fm/music/artist

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

eg) http://www.last.fm/music/U2

-> Get the content of

<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.

[Dentafrice1]

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

[ZAG]

I have this working with spaces etc.

http://thomas.uk.to/artist.php?artist=The Fratellis

<?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 . '">';

?>

Doesnt make the page an image using GD though.

I have also made one to recieve the artists latest album.

http://thomas.uk.to/album.php?artist=The Fratellis

<?php
$artist = $_GET['artist'];

$artist = urldecode($artist);

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

$data = file_get_contents($url);

$image1start = explode('<div class="cover">', $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 . '">';

?>

[Dentafrice1]

<?php
header("Content-Type: image/gif");
$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]);
$image2 = imagecreatefromjpeg($image);
imagegif($image2);

?>

There you go

Wish last.fm wasnt so slow though

[Dentafrice1]

Yea but it gets used alot so it takes a while.

=[

How can I explode: Dawn of the Dude - Set Us Free

into just Dawn of the Dude?

[timROGERS]

<?php
$song_data = "Dawn of the Dude - Set Us Free";
$song_data_exploded = explode(" - ", $song_data);
?>

[ZAG]

<?php
$song_data = "Dawn of the Dude - Set Us Free";
$song_data_exploded = explode(" - ", $song_data);
?>

Then you could echo is out using

echo $song_data_exploded[0];
