Php-ffmpeg: How to get the length of a video

Created on 12 Apr 2017 · 2Comments · Source: PHP-FFMpeg/PHP-FFMpeg

Expected Behavior

Sorry, I made a mistake just now and my English is really poor.
I want to get the length(xxx seconds) of a video but cannot find a appropriate way to do. I find a way on the Internet that need to execute a Linux command but I think maybe there is a better way. So I want to ask that whether FFMpeg provide a interface to do it?

Ah. That makes sense, you can do it like this:

$ffprobe = FFMpeg\FFProbe::create();
$length = $ffprobe
    ->format('/path/to/video/mp4') // extracts file informations
    ->get('duration');             // returns the duration property
