Fetching recently played track albums from last.fm

Hi,

I just realized that the following is possible and am now using it when my Musicbrainz/Amazon query fails. Maybe it is helpful for anybody:

$url is the track url that you can get from the recenttracks xml file:


$html = file_get_contents($url);

//find album in source
preg_match('/.*div class="cover".*?title.*?- (.*?)".*?src="(.*?)"/isu', $html, $matches);

// It is a jpg (no_cover-image is gif)
if(stristr($matches[2], "jpg"))
{
$album=$matches[1];
$albumURL=$matches[2];
}



Maybe this helps anyone until they finally put more infos in the XML.
