Hi, whats the status of this 7 month old PR?
I'm building out a bunch of tools for stockmusic.net and this would be a most welcome addition to our tool chain.

Thanks!

I'd like to know too, I'd love to use this in my project.

Could you merge this ? I need to use this package with php7.1

[pkwasnik]

Me too. Please support PHP7.

@dehy, thank you for your contribution; and sorry for the delay. I've merged #21 recently, so the constraints of 2.1 are now allowing PHP7.

Sincerely, I'm not depending on this library for a very long time, so I'm not keeping it maintained. Moreover, now that the official getID3 library is published at GitHub and accepts contributions, is a good time to focus all the effort on it.

For these reasons, I must abandon this fork; so, in order to provide a path to make this movement as easy as possible, I plan to create a release for 2.1.0 version and update the master branch as alias of 3.0-dev, allowing the upgrades breaking BC (like the database driver change proposed in this PR, unless you can provide a bridge capable to use the proper driver based on the capabilities of the environment).

I'll keep this PR open until these concerns are consolidated.
