[PHP-WIN] WinampCOM problem From: Olivier Hubert (raggart <email protected>)
Date: 07/05/02

Hiya,

Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I am trying to
control Winamp through HTTP using the WinampCOM plugin. It works fine when
I call the script from the command line but not at all when the exact same
script runs through HTTP (using Apache). Here is a bit of the code I use:

         $Winamp = new COM("WinampCOM.Application") or die('Could not
instanciate the WinampCOM object');

         if (isset($Winamp))
                 echo 'Test: ' . $Winamp->CurrentSongFileName();

         else
                 echo 'Not working';

Now, through the command line I see 'Test: ' followed by the current song's
name but on the web page I see only 'Test: '. Anyone ever experienced this?
Any help appreciated. For those who wonder, WinampCOM is available at:
http://www.adcock8.freeserve.co.uk/winamp.htm.

Thanks,

Olivier
