Sharing your music taste could never be easier with CodeIgniter and Lastfm
Just register for lastfm, and install the program on your PC/Mac… then play your tunes in your favourite music player. The ‘recently played’ list will start populating with your track list.
You can use this library to get a list of your recently played songs (like on the right hand side of this blog >>), for your CodeIgniter application.
Using the application is really simple.
Here’s the code for your controller:
$this->load->library('lastfm'); $config = array( 'user' => 'elliothaughin', 'num' => 10, 'rss_cache_path' => APPPATH.'cache/lastfm-rss-cache', 'cache_time' => 300 // 5 minutes ); $this->lastfm->init($config); $data['lastfm'] = $this->lastfm->get_latest();
Then you just need to display them in your view files!
<?php foreach ($lastfm as $song):?> <li><?=$song['title']?><br /> <?=$song['when']?></li> <?php endforeach; ?>
Easy peasy huh?

hey, just goofing around with this, thanks a lot! But just one thing: your username is hardcoded into the rss_url on line 48.
i assume it should be something like
$this->rss_url = http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/user/‘.$user.’/recenttracks.rss’; ?
i mean
.$this->user.
sorry.
Yep, true.
change line 48 to:
$this->rss_url = ‘http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/user/’.$this->user.’/recenttracks.rss’;
Thanks for the Lib!!!
