What are some alternative approaches if extracting height and width data directly from WMV files is not feasible in PHP?

If extracting height and width data directly from WMV files is not feasible in PHP, an alternative approach would be to use a multimedia processing library like FFmpeg to extract this information. FFmpeg is a powerful tool that can be used to analyze multimedia files and extract metadata such as height and width. 

<?php

// Path to the WMV file
$wmvFile = 'sample.wmv';

// Use FFmpeg to get the video information
$command = 'ffmpeg -i ' . $wmvFile . ' 2>&1 | grep Stream';
exec($command, $output);

// Extract the height and width from the output
$videoInfo = implode("\n", $output);
preg_match('/([0-9]{3,4})x([0-9]{3,4})/', $videoInfo, $matches);
$width = $matches[1];
$height = $matches[2];

// Output the height and width
echo 'Width: ' . $width . 'px, Height: ' . $height . 'px';

?>
