How to compress mp3 file in php

Question

I am doing a php project. In my project, I need to compress mp3 files to reduce the file size because I need to store a lot of mp3 files.

How can I compress it in php? I am using laravel framework. If possible, I want it without extra installation. I already checked ffmpeg , but I was not able to use it due to the poor documentation. How can I achieve it?

    // Audio compress
    $inputAudio = public_path('/audio/myaudio.mp3');
    $outputAudio = public_path('/output/outputAudio.mp3');
    exec("ffmpeg -i $inputAudio -ab 64 $outputAudio");

    // Video compress
    $inputVideo = public_path('/audio/myvideo.mp4');
    $outputVideo = public_path('/output/outputVideo.mp4');
    exec("ffmpeg -i $inputVideo -vf scale=1280:-1 -c:v libx264 -preset veryslow -crf 24 $outputVideo");
