Скрипта който вади данните от амарока е написан на php (в оригинал повечето са на перл). Използват се тръби (pipe) и функцията popen() (която е г/д една и съща и в перл и в php), която връща handle към съответната тръба. Имам инсталиран пакета php5-cli за да мога да изпълнявам php скриптове. Ето го кода:

<?php error_reporting(E_ALL);

$commands=array();
$commands['player']=array();
$commands['player'][]='artist';
$commands['player'][]='title';
//$commands['player'][]='rating';
//$commands['player'][]='trackPlayCounter';
$commands['player'][]='currentTime';
$commands['player'][]='totalTime';

$type='player';

$results=array();
foreach($commands['player'] as $cmd)
{
/* Add redirection so we can get stderr. */
$handle = popen('dcop amarok '.$type.' '.$cmd, 'r');
//echo "'$handle'; " . gettype($handle) . "\n";
$read = fread($handle, 2096);
$results[]=trim($read);
pclose($handle);
}
echo $results[0].' - '.$results[1].' '.$results[2].'/'.$results[3].' | ';
?>
