ID3 Tags and File Uploads

[geudrik]

I'm looking for ideas thoughts that anyone might have regarding disappearing ID3 tags in .mp3 files after they are uploaded to a web server via $_FILES method.

 

In order, the steps occur at time of upload are:

1) File upload is initiated

2) File is uploaded to temp dir on server

3) File is re-assigned a hash value for a file name, with .mp3 appended

4) File is moved from temp dir to the given users dir

5) Meta Data is supposed to be read, and a row inserted into the DB.

 

Now, everything works as intended - not having any issues... Other than, of course, the mystery of the vanishing ID3 tags.   Can anyone shed some light on this?

 

I am 100% certain that I can read the meta data - giving two different parameters on two different files (one uploaded manually via sftp, the other via http through the use of $_FILES)

 

Example of what's happening: http://69.164.222.60/test2.php

 

nji.mp3 was uploaded via SFTP.  The hashed .mp3 was uploaded via my web form. 

 

Thoughts / Comments / Suggestions / Ideas / Saving Grace?  ^^

As an update...

 

the N/A is added into the array with my script because it's reading the ID3 info as null. 

I downloaded the file to my local machine, and all meta data shows up (in varying players, as well as in simply the folder view)

Anyone? This is quite strange :s
