How can PHP be used to retrieve and display the title of a radio show from a shoutcast server on a website?

To retrieve and display the title of a radio show from a shoutcast server on a website, you can use PHP to make a request to the shoutcast server's status XML file and parse the response to extract the title information. You can then display this title on your website using PHP. 

<?php
// URL of the shoutcast server's status XML file
$url = 'http://yourshoutcastserver.com/stats?sid=1';

// Make a request to the shoutcast server
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url);

// Extract the title of the current playing song
$title = (string) $xml->SONGTITLE;

// Display the title on your website
echo 'Currently playing: ' . $title;
?>
