How can I get the duration of a track on SoundCloud in JavaScript or PHP? Can I use this duration with JavaScript events?

Working JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/aj3Pw/1/
HTML:
<iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F7659975" id="player"></iframe> <button id="play">Play</button>
JS:
var iframe = document.querySelector('#player'); var sc = SC.Widget(iframe); sc.bind(SC.Widget.Events.READY, function() { var d = document.createTextNode('Ready'); document.querySelector('body').appendChild(d); }); document.querySelector('button').addEventListener('click', function() { sc.play(); sc.getDuration(function(duration) { console.log(duration); // do whatever you need to with the duration variable }); });
