Since giving Ranier advice on external programs, I've knocked up a simple
web-based interface for winamp that can be controlled over the internet
(useful in a networked flat where one PC is simply a music box, I can leave
apache running and remove the monitor/keyboard etc just to leave the box and
the speakers). I'd started this project briefly a while ago (as some on the
list may remember) but gave up. It works now, and I thought some people on
the list would appreciate a look at it. (yes I know there are webbased
winamp controllers available, but where's the fun in that?.. ;) )
Here's the php code for it
<<contents of index.php>>
<?
$directory = "D:/mp3s"; // Set the directory we're looking at..
if (isset($filename)) {
$link = "d:\\mp3s\\";
$link .= urldecode($filename);
exec("COMMAND.COM /C START c:\progra~1\winamp\winamp.exe \"$link\" >NUL");
header("Location:index.php?status=playing&arg=$filename");
}
if ($status=="playing") {
$proper = urldecode($arg);
echo "Now playing: <H3>$arg</H3>";
}
$count=0;
$handle=opendir($directory);
echo "Choose a song to play from <B>$directory</B>:<BR>";
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
if (substr($file, -4)==".mp3"){
// ignore any non-mp3 files
$filelist[$count++] = $file;
}
}
}
closedir($handle);
sort ($filelist); // alphabetize the files
for ($i=0; $i<$count; $i++) {
$link = urlencode($filelist[$i]);
echo "<A HREF=\"index.php?filename=$link\">$filelist[$i]</A><BR>";
}
?>

Apparently this doesn't work on win2k though, and replacing the line with
exec("CMD /C START c:\progra~1\winamp\winamp.exe \"$link\" >NUL");
I'm told doesn't seem to work.
If anyone has suggestions, I'm open

Make sure that all the paths in php.ini exist.
Had this same problem when using sessions, because the directory where the
session data should be saved didn't exist.

hey ross,
your suggested code
- exec("COMMAND.COM /C START c:\progra~1\micros~1\office\winword.exe
>NUL"); -
is trying to do something (starting winword?) without a result. the apache
hangs up!
i've heard that it makes a difference whether you have installed apache as
cgi or as a module.
i have it running as a module on win 2k!
a ) before reinstalling apache as cgi-version: do you have any idea if this
is true?
b) or do i have to configure apache (httpd.conf) and/or php.ini with special
parameters?
by the way: any html and/or php coded webpages are running without problems
on my installed localhost!
regards

Hey there ...
I'm having a major problem, I have to generate a XML file encoded in
UTF-16
so Flash can read the XML file and decode it - and would be able to show
the
correct chars in every language (or atleast Lithuania, Czech and other
normal
language english).
I've tried so many things, mb_string extension seems to work fine but it
doesn't
generate "real" UTF-16 encoding. If I check a XML file in notepad and
save it as
unicode it works really great - but PHP just doesn't seem to do this.
Notepad creates a "header" like (2 bytes) a 0x0FFh and 0x0FEh in the
beginning
and some of the "wierd" chars is encoded a different way than PHP does
it.
I've tried the Iconv extension, which was a bitch to make it work - but
when PHP
didn't say any more errors it seemed to work, but again with small
errors ...
Anyone know how to make some normal chars (UTF-8 or normal string type)
to
UTF-16 in PHP.
Thanks :)

that error indeed disapperars but now i cannot use the html buttons anymore
when i click submit it keeps on showing me the same page over and over again
i created the script if the form is correctly fill in it should display a
message like
print "hi $name your message has been sended to me thank you ."; or
incompplete fields
print "oeps you forgot some requierd fields go back and fill in the complete
form please .";
but that doesn't happen anymore it shows the same page al the time........
info:
os:windows 2000 pro
server:Apache
phpversion 4.2.0
browser:internet explorer 6.0
daimned windows computers :-) i will buy mandrake linux soon so php runs
normal i think there is nothing wrong with php only windows and php doesn't
like eachother haha :-)

hi folks
i'm just about to experiment with the new handling of session vars
($_SESSION[...]). now if i start with
session_start();
$_SESSION["remember_me"] = "steff";
session_save_close(); // tested with and without this function call
, the var value won't be set correctly. on a following page
print($_SESSION["remember_me"]);
doesn't print anything. even a
print_r($_SESSION);
only shows Array (). i admit i am fairly confused by information on
register_globals (which is set to on in my php.ini) etc.
up to now i have worked with
session_start();
$remember_me = "steff";
session_register("remember_me");
which still works great. i'm working on w2k/php4.1.2/apache1.3.22. the
session.[...] settings in my php.ini correspond those in
php.ini-recommended.
i read about a bug(?) in connection with php4.1.2. and IIS5
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php, posted on 01-Apr-2002).
any known problems with apache (or php itself)? updating to 4.2 is no
alternative (as posted on 07-Apr-2002 on the same page) since i have to
respect some provicer-side dependencies ;-)
TIA for your comments
steff
