Libextractor binding for PHP
"GNU Libextractor is a library used to extract meta data from files. The goal is to provide developers of file-sharing networks, browsers or WWW-indexing bots with a universal library to obtain simple keywords and meta data to match against queries and to show to users instead of only relying on filenames." -- Libextractor documentation
You need to have libextractor pre-installed. You can fetch the latest version
from http://www.gnu.org/software/libextractor/.
git clone https://github.com/mancmelou/php-extractor.git
cd php-extractor
On some installs, you might need to install php-dev:
sudo apt-get install php5-dev
Configure and build the extension:
phpize
./configure
make
Run the tests and create an issue on github if some of the tests fail.
make test
Copy the extension (modules/extractor.so) to your php extensions directory and edit your php.ini to load by default.
A simple usage example.
<?php
$filepath = '/tmp/test.tgz';
$keywords = extractor_get_keywords($filepath);
print_r($keywords);
?>This will output:
