I'm trying to get the exact time duration of a video in PHP. I have searched about it, but it seems to be like, I have to use the library called getid3, but I don't want to use it. Then I searched some code, until I found this code, but, it is wrong because, if I have 00:03:43 (hr:min:sec), the result is different. Here's my code:
if (file_exists($file)){
## open and read video file
$handle = fopen($file, "r");
## read video file size
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($file));
fclose($handle);
$make_hexa = hexdec(bin2hex(substr($contents,strlen($contents)-3)));
if (strlen($contents) > $make_hexa){
$pre_duration = hexdec(bin2hex(substr($contents,strlen($contents)-$make_hexa,3))) ;
$post_duration = $pre_duration/1000;
$timehours = $post_duration/3600;
$timeminutes = ($post_duration % 3600)/60;
$timeseconds = (($post_duration % 3600) % 60) + 1;
$timehours = explode(".", $timehours);
$timeminutes = explode(".", $timeminutes);
$timeseconds = explode(".", $timeseconds);
$duration = $timehours[0]. ":" . $timeminutes[0] . ":" . $timeseconds[0];
}
return $duration;
}
else {
return 'File doesn\'t exists.';
}
Note: I'm using Laravel5.1
