Subject: [php-list] sound in a php script?
I'm just beginning to try to learn PHP scripts, a friend compiled a
script that works well and uses a form post method to essentially
create an IRC type chat scenario. A couple of my users would like a
"beep" or some similar audio sound that would alert them when a fresh
line of text arrives on their browser/screen.
Here's an example of what I am dealing with ...
<?php if($cooked == 1) { ?>
<p /><form method="post" action="skccsked.php">
<p>Enter your message here
<input size="50" maxlength="200" name="text" />
<input type="submit" value="Post"/>
</p>
</form>
<?php } else { echo "<p>You must create an info cookie to post.</p>"; }
?>
Is there an simple command that I could add to the script that would
play a brief "beep" each time the above is executed ?

Hello Andy,
You can do this with HTML/Javascript. Let me know if this
script doesn't work and I will debug it for you. Best to use a .mid for
sound but a .wav should be ok for most browsers.
<head>
<script type="javascript">
// <!--
function beep()
{
var body = getElementByTagName("body");
body.bgsound = "beep.mid";
}
// -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input name="incoming test" onChange="beep()" type="text">
...
