Your code lacks a check for already uploaded songs. It will work in that way but already uploaded songs still return "Song uploaded" with the already uploaded ID. It may be confusing. You can consider adding "Song already exists with the ID:" but still returning the ID of the already uploaded song, so users will not get confused about it.

I am not a good PHPer, but $id != false should do the trick

I see no issues with your code.

If the song exists in the database, it still returns the "song uploaded" message with the ID. It may be confusing. Consider adding "song already exists" but still returning the ID of the already uploaded song.

I also thought about this, but the problem is about concept of this "API". It (mainlib function) is expected to return an integer where if > 0 then it is id, if <= 0 assume it failed. We should ask @Cvolton about designing this

It still removes the capability of the error text "This song already exists in our database." Yes, your code still returns the ID of the song, very well but removing the existing error still be confusable.
I guess we need @Cvolton's opinion on that.
