ID3 functions not working

Hello

I am trying to use the ID3 functions in PHP - id3_get_tag() in
particular - but it tells me its undefined.
If I check the phpinfo page it says under ID3=B4s enabled column the
following:

v1.0, v1.1, v2.2+ (partly)

I have put the php_id3.dll in the extension directory and the php.ini
file has a reference to this extension.

I have been reading on the web about compiling the PHP source with "--
enable-id3" - but this, frankly, scares the
living daylights out of me.

Is this the only way to get ID3 working ......to compile the
source ??!!

I use PHP 5.2.5 - Apache 2.2.6 - Windows XP.

Any ideas would be appreciated ....

Thanks,
Tad

There are ways to read ID3 information without actually using the ID3
library.
Take a look at : http://getid3.sourceforge.net
or to keep things really simple
