Description:

Allows you to play midi files on your website.

#!/usr/bin/perl

# To run this script put the following line into the body of your html
+ page.
# <!--#exec cgi="/path/to/bsmidi.cgi"-->

$datafile = "playlist.txt";
 # Location of the playlist file.
 # An example is included in the zip file.

$width = "0";
 # The width of the control box.

$height = "0";
 # The height of the control box.

$autostart = "true";
 # Have the midis automatically play (true=yes, false=no)

$loop = "false";
 # Have the song repeat (true=yes, false=no)

$showtitle = "true";
 # Show song title. (true=yes, false=no)

$fntstyle = "Arial";
 # Title Font Style.

$fntsize = "4";
 # Title Font Size.

$fntbold = "true";
 # Is Title Bold? (true=bold, false=plain)

open (GETDATA, "$datafile");

since you have $showtitle = "true"; than $showtitle =~ /true/i is an un-needed regex. IMHO you should just do $showtitle eq "true". Same goes for the rest of the scalers with the same attributes.

You also might want to incorporate CGI.pm into your script so you can edit attributes of your script via url instead of going and editing the program..IE:


#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
 
use CGI qw/:standard/;

my $c   = new CGI;
 
my $datafile    = "/full/path/to/playlist.txt";
my $width       = $c->param("width")    || 0;
my $height      = $c->param("height")   || 0;
my $autostart   = $c->param("autostart")|| "true";
my $loop        = $c->param("loop")     || "false";
my $showtitle   = $c->param("showtitle")|| "true";
my $fntstyle    = $c->param("fntstyle") || "Arial";
my $fntsize     = $c->param("fntsize")  || 4;
my $fntbold     = $c->param("fntbold")  || "true";
 
open(GETDATA, "$datafile");
@Data   = <GETDATA>;
close(GETDATA);
 
srand(time & $$);
my $number      = rand(@Data);
my $line        = @Data[$number];
 
chomp($line);
($title,$midi) = split(/\|/, $line);
 
print header;
 
if ($showtitle eq "true") {
        print "<font size=\"$fntsize\" face=\"$fntstyle\">";
        print "<strong>" if $fntbold eq "true";
        print "$title";
        print "</strong>" if $fntbold eq "true";
        print "</font>\n";
}
print "<embed src=\"$midi\" width=\"$width\" height=\"$height\" autost
+art=\"$aut
ostart\"l
+oop=\"$loop\"><noembed><bgsound src=\"$midi\" loop=true></noembed></e
+mbed>\n";
 
exit (0);


happy coding.
