Use PHP to show Icecast2 statistics

Question

Hi!

I have some trouble viewing statistics (viewers, current song playing etc) with PHP and I can't find any information how to do this.

There is a couple of XLS files included with Icecast2 and I could include this files with PHP to my site but I wan't to update the DIV that the include is in every 5 seconds and that won't work with XLS files.

Thanks!

By using this code I've got it working:

<?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];
