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

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Running winamp thru php (was "executing an external
program")
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>";
}
?>
