I am working on a web site where I have this requirement to convert audio files into mp3s. The following audio formats are to be converted into mp3: .wav, .wma, .aac, .vox, .aif, .amr, .ogg, .aiff

I am using an audio converter called AudioCommander (http://www.mystikmedia.com/audiocommander.asp), calling this tool on command line in PHP, this is the code:

<?
    function convert($commander)
   {
       $app_path="$commander /f c:\source\ /usfp /op c:\source\ /fmt MP3 /mp3f 1 /mp3c 2 /mp3m 0 /mp3b 5";
       echo exec($app_path);
   }
   $commander = "C:\BBox_Converter\AudioCommander.exe";
   convert($commander);
?>

Now this code works just great and fine on Win XP and Vista, but running the same script on Win 2003 server yields no result at all. The web server on Win 2003 is Apache 2.2. I have to make it work on Windows 2003 server with PHP 5.2 and Apache 2.2.....I believe the problem on Win 2003 is the way the tool is invoked/called to work, something's wrong with the command in PHP, What am I doing wrong here? Any help or guidance at all will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I don't have personal experience with Win 2003 Server (I have it but never got around to installing it), but it looks like maybe this is the solution to the problem you are having -- http://www.visualwin.com/PHP/

Hope it helps
