[PHP] audio recorder
Not exactly a php question. but I'm doing the project in php, so does that count? ;-) A client of mine wants a simple audio recorder for users to record a short clip/message for other users. anyone recommend any simple audio recorder applets or similar that can easily be integrated with php? Thanks! J

Thanks! J How do you want to implement it? Where is the microphone connected? Server? Client? or is it a Stand Alone app (CLI)? If it's connected to the client PC (which I'm guessing), then you can't use PHP for recording it, it needs to be done in a client side language, and if you don't want the client to download an application, you have a few options, but there's only one I can recommend, and that is java. But really, you're not on the right list for that ;) If it's connected to the server, or if it's an Stand Alone app, then I would recommend you looking for some software that does record from the microphone, and use it through system, exec, ``, ... functions.

[JP] Don't want a stand alone app, as I/they want it as simple and user friendly as possible.

Agreed that this isn't the right list for that though ;-) It might be possible with ASP + ActiveX or something like that, but then your limiting yourself ;) ASP works only fully on Windows servers , while the mono project does a good part of implementing it, it's not perfect yet (neither is the official version from microsoft ;) ). ActiveX works only with IE browser, and with some kind of hacks it is possible with FF etc too, but also this is far from perfect (and user friendly ;) ) If it's connected to the server, or if it's an Stand Alone app, then I would recommend you looking for some software that does record from the microphone, and use it through system, exec, ``, ... functions. [JP] Don't want a stand alone app, as I/they want it as simple and user friendly as possible. J Everyone wants that ;) An example of audio recording in Java: www.javasonics.com Or if you're going to write it yourself, you have a) The Java Sound API (integrated into Java) b) Java Media FrameWork (http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf) Tijnema -- Vote for PHP Color Coding in Gmail! - http://gpcc.tijnema.info -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] audio recorder
A service called AudioGenerator provides an online recording capability like you are describing via Flash. Their flash app is at: http://upload.audiogenerator.com/audio_recorder.swf Normally called with the code: object classid=clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-44455354 codebase=http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0; id=video_recorder viewastext= align=middle height=300 width=215 param name=allowScriptAccess value=sameDomain param name=movie value=audio_recorder.swf param name=FlashVars value=imefajl=1055s4dfsd45amp;w=newrecordbymicrophone2.aspamp;popup= param name=menu value=false param name=quality value=high param name=bgcolor value=#CC /object I don't know if this is a custom component they created or a purchasable one. I provide the above link and info only as an example of one approach; kindly confirm all proper licensing requirements prior to making any use of this applet. If you do find a solution with a viable license kindly update me (or the list) as I too would be interested in this. -Geoff On 7/30/07, M.

I don't know if it will fit your application design or business process, but for a dirt simple recording application, Gerd Knorr's record is the bee's knees: http://bytesex.org -- Some people have a gift link here.
