HTML5 audio with PHP script does not work on iPad/Iphone
- by saulob
Ok, I'm trying to play an HTML audio code on iPad but does not work.
I created one PHP script to send to the MP3 request to the HTML5 audio code
mp3_file_player.php?n=mp3file.mp3
The player is here:
http://www.avault.com/news/podcast-news/john-romero-podcast-episode-80/
You will see that works on every HTML5 supported browser even on my iPod Touch. But does not work on iPad/iPhone, even on Safari on Mac OSX (I tried on Safari/Windows, worked fine)
This is my PHP code:
header("X-Powered-By: ");
header("Accept-Ranges: bytes");
header("Content-Length: ". (string)(filesize($episode_filename)) ."");
header("Content-type: audio/mpeg");
readfile($episode_filename);
exit();
Everything works fine, the MP3 has the same headers like reading the mp3 directly.

The only thing different it's the Content-Range, I even tried to add it, but if I use it the player will not work on my Ipod Touch. So I removed.
Thank you very much.
