Question

Answer 1

I suggest you take a look at getID3

You can access the page at this link!

the getID3 is a php clase to see the attributes of a file, see the following example;

<?php
Include ("getid3/getid3.php");
$filename="nome_do_video.mp4";
$getID3 = new getID3;
$file = $getID3->analize($filename);
echo $file['playtime_string'];

?>

If there are any questions please consult the page demo on the website of getID3

Answer 2

I have a solution in Javascript. I know you wanted in PHP, but this form below is more advisable as it works directly with the properties of the video without the need to API, EXECUTE THE CODE BELOW(comentários no código):

//Criando as funcionalidades do video
var myVideo=document.getElementById("video1"); 

function playPause()
{ 
    if (myVideo.paused) 
    myVideo.play(); 
else 
 myVideo.pause(); 
} 

function muteUnMute()
{ 
    if( !myVideo.muted)
 myVideo.muted='muted';
else

myVideo.muted=false;
} 

//Criando as propriedades do video

var videoStartTime = 0;
var durationTime = 0;

myVideo.addEventListener('loadedmetadata', function() {
  
  //DETERMINADO PONTO DE PARTIDA DO VÍDEO
  videoStartTime = 0;
  
  //DURAÇÃO DO VÍDEO PROGRAMADA
  durationTime = 10;
  this.currentTime = videoStartTime;
}, false);

//Função que conta o progresso do vídeo
myVideo.addEventListener('timeupdate', function() {
  
  //Setando na div o a duração do vídeo
  var div = document.getElementById('tempo');
  div.innerHTML = this.currentTime;
  
  //Condição para pausar o video em determinado tempo      
  if(this.currentTime > videoStartTime + durationTime){
    this.pause();
  }
});

<div style="text-align:center"> 
<h3>Contando o tempo: </h3><div id="tempo" style="color: red"></div>
 <button onclick="playPause()">Play/Pausar</button> 
<button onclick="muteUnMute()">SemSom/comSom</button> 
     <br> 
<video id="video1" width="420">
 <source src="mov_bbb.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    <source src="http://thumb.mais.uol.com.br/13277141.mp4" type="video/ogg">
