Then you could echo is out using

echo $song_data_exploded[0]; 

I would have said it, but I would have thought he could have worked it out

[ZAG]

Yeah i just said it for no reason...

Or maybe to help other people who want to do this? Maybe

Thanks you two +REP

Im leaning alot more about exploding things this way and more ways I can use it in my programs.

[Dentafrice1]

I've made it easier now, this function is for anyone who needs it. To use it just save it as albumart.php and then put the following into your page:

<?php
include("albumart.php");
getAlbumArt($current_playing_song);
?>

By the way, it explodes it for you, so just put it directly from your shoutcast stats script. Here is albumart.php:

<?php
function getAlbumArt($now_playing) {
    $artist_name = explode(" - ", $now_playing);
    $artist_name = str_replace(" ", "+", $artist_name);

    $url_to_query = "http://www.last.fm/music/" . $artist_name . "/";
    $query = file_get_contents($url_to_query);

    $album_art_start = explode('<div class="imgHolder">', $query);
    $album_art_end = explode('</div>', $album_art_start[1]);
    $album_art_html = trim($album_art_end[0]);

    $image_url_start = explode('<img src="', $album_art_html);
    $image_url_end = explode('" alt', $image_url_start[1]);
    $image_url = trim($image_url_end[0]);

    echo '<img src="' . $image_url . '" alt="' . $artist_name . '">';
    
}
?>

Nice little script +rep (dunno if my power will affect it)

[Dentafrice1]

Nice script. I cant +rep again but I will soon

Your better at functions and classes then I am

But if they dont want it to echo it out you could edit it to:

<?php
function getAlbumArt($now_playing) {
    $artist_name = explode(" - ", $now_playing);
    $artist_name = str_replace(" ", "+", $artist_name);

    $url_to_query = "http://www.last.fm/music/" . $artist_name . "/";
    $query = file_get_contents($url_to_query);

    $album_art_start = explode('<div class="imgHolder">', $query);
    $album_art_end = explode('</div>', $album_art_start[1]);
    $album_art_html = trim($album_art_end[0]);

    $image_url_start = explode('<img src="', $album_art_html);
    $image_url_end = explode('" alt', $image_url_start[1]);
    $image_url = trim($image_url_end[0]);

    return $image_url;
    
}
?>

Then you would put

<?php
include('albumart.php');
$album = getAlbumArt("Artist Name - Song Name");
//Then you could echo it out whenever you wanted
echo '<img src="'.$album.'">';
//Or you could use it with GD etc
?>
