note 102395 added to function.system

I was trying to get the server-side to beep in windows 7. I finally found something that would work without creating my own EXE. Create a batch file with at the CMD prompt type: echo @echo (Alt-7)>beep.bat Then execute it in PHP with: exec ('start /MIN c:\your_path_here\beep.bat'); NOTE: The only drawback I can find is that a cmd.exe does visually flash on the system (which is why I used the /MIN to ensure it only goes to the taskbar). Not really sure why I don't like that, but it was a side effect that I wasn't looking for. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 99.236.26.180 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.system.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/102395 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102395/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102395/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102395/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102395/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102395/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102395/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102395 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/102395 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
