RE: [PHP-WIN] PHP & IIS system() a program in the forground

Are you making the system call as ("wavfile.wav"), you probably need to put the name of a player system("d:\winnt\system32\sndrec32.exe wavfile.wav") Sound recorder doesn't automatically play the sound, so you need to find another program (maybe winamp automatically plays, I can't try it out because my Soundcard has problems .) Don't use media player, it's a huge program and would take too long and too many resources to load each time a page runs. The best way, is to make this a shortcut and then you can set it to run hidden or minimized, then place the path of the shortcut in the system() call i.e. system("d:\playsound.lnk").
