Comment on Detecting a videos dimensions using PHP and FFMPEG by Andrew

Great function, works great, but depends on deprecated ereg. To fix, replace line 14 with:

$regex = “/([0-9]{1,4})x([0-9]{1,4})/”;
if (preg_match($regex, $output, $regs)) {
$result = $regs[0];
}else {
$result = “”;
}

This could be re-factored if you choose. Thanks Jamie, this code was really helpful.

Yes you can. It just opens up as a plain textfile. So you just click “view source” and voila! there’s the code.

Oh and thanks for the code, it works like a charm (on Windows 7 at least).
