sound playing question.

[mp04]

okay, i have a folder OUTSIDE of my root dir. and it contains sound files, now i have a script that calls files from this to download and thats working perfectly, now aim trying to do the same thing, but to hear it sound, so people can sample it before they download the file. heres the code i have so far:

<?php
session_cache_limiter('public');
require_once( "File.php" );
require ("signupconfig.php");

if (!class_exists(auth))
{
	include ("./auth.php");
} 
include ("./authconfig.php");
include ("./check.php");	

$dDir = realpath(dirname(__FILE__)."/../../downloads") . "/";
$dFile = $dDir . $_GET["file"];

if($download) {

header("Pragma: public");
			header("Expires: 0");
			header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
			header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
			header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($dFile));
			header( "Content-Description: File Transfer");
			@readfile($dFile);
}

$filepath = "/../../downloads/$file";


$play_file = $dFile;
$play_file2 = "../../$play_file";

echo "<embed src=\"$play_file\" hidden=no autostart=true></embed><br><br>";
?>

<a href="preview.php?file=<?=$play_file?>&download=TRUE" target="_blank">Download</a>        <br><bR>


<?=$play_file?> <br><br>   <?=$play_file2?>

now even though the file and everything shows up, i cant get it to play. any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks.

Possibly change your Content-Type to a mime type that would be recognized by a browser (or a plugin) and which would launch something like QuickTime to begin loading the file into the player like when you view movie trailers at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/

This works.

<?php
session_start();
print "<embed src='MyWavFile.wav' VOLUME=50 HIDDEN='true' />";
?>

Any good to you?

Ahh.. I've just read you code. I can see you can code a little bit more advanced than me.. (embarrased grimace)

If you know how to merge/mix wavs or concatenate two or more together, I would be very, very interested.

Sorry I couldn't help properly.

Maybe hidden = 'false' instead of no?
