PHP::Playlist is a music web interface software that allows you to access your music library easily. The software enables users to play, manage and create music playlists on the web.
Moreover, the software requires a specific Apache2 configuration, which involves setting options such as Includes, Indexes, FollowSymLinks, MultiViews, and others. For database updates, you can use the bin/create_db script, which helps you to update the music database. It's important to create a directory /var/www/db/ with write permissions to apache user first. You should also add the update process to the crontab using the command 0 2 * * * /var/www/htdocs/private/play/bin/create_db >& /var/www/db/create_db.log.
One of the significant benefits of PHP::Playlist is its extensive configuration options. You can set important variables in bin/create_db(DB) and include/config.php(PHP) for configuring directory for music storage ($MEDIA_DIR), the file with the sqlite3 database ($DB_FILE_NAME), and straight access to music files via apache ($MEDIA_PREFIX).
Finally, installing PHP::Playlist is easy; open the PHP::Playlist tar.gz file in /var/www/htdocs/private/play/ and then type the software in the browser. The release also brings new features like whole directory ZIP downloading and count of music files.
