Hi,
I'm working on a website for my quartet, The Chiara String Quartet.
One of our primary goals is to present audio clips, and we have many of
them. Because of our diverse audience, we need to stream many file formats
of identical clips. I'm trying to do this through php-mysql, recording
information common to each clip in a database, and then streaming the files
through a central PHP file using the header function to output
"Content-type: audio/x-ms-wax" or "Content-type: audio/x-pn-realaudio"
This works fine in netscape, but IE 5 does not work. Investigating further,
I found a basic difference between the way Apache streams straight .wax and
.ram files vs. the php filtered one. Find below:
Here's the headers from a straight .ram file:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2001 05:39:59 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.17 (Unix) mod_bwlimited/0.8 PHP/4.0.4pl1
mod_log_bytes/0.2 mod_frontpage/3.0.4.3 mod_ssl/2.8.0 OpenSSL/0.9.5a

Content-Type: audio/x-pn-realaudio

The contents of the file are the hypertext link.
Now, here's the php version of the headers:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

As you can see, the contents are encased by the length of the file and an
ending 0, like a normal html file. You can also see the extra headers PHP
adds in.
How do I get rid of the 36 and the 0?
Thanks.
As my first career is the cellist of the quartet, I don't have the time to
check, so I would appreciate a direct response to the email address greg at
chiaraquartet dot net, replacing at with @ and dot with .
