PHP Reader
==========

[](#php-reader)

PHP Reader is an object-oriented toolkit for inspecting and authoring media metadata. It ships with parsers and writers for ASF (WMA/WMV), ID3 (v1 and v2), ISO Base Media File Format variants (MP4, M4A, QuickTime, iTunes metadata), MPEG Audio Bit Streams, MPEG Program Streams, and MIME magic signatures. The library targets modern PHP runtimes, follows the PSR coding standards, and includes a comprehensive test suite and documentation set.

Soli Deo Gloria (To God Be The Glory)
-------------------------------------

[](#soli-deo-gloria-to-god-be-the-glory)

I code for the fun of it. It's part of who I am and how God created me. Over the years, He has lifted me from deep waters, set my feet on solid ground, and continues to guide my steps. Without Him, I wouldn't be here creating anything, and for that I give Him all the honour and glory.

This library grew out of a simple need: to display sermon information on the web. By giving it away, I see it as one small good deed, a contribution, however modest, to the greater work of building the Kingdom of God through the gifts He has given me.

I hope you enjoy using this as much as I enjoyed creating it.
