system beep

Is there a way I could force the default system beep (ascii 7, the "bell")
via php? Thanks, Ike

But which system do you want to beep, the client or the server?

If the client - how is it connected?
If through a browser, they typically don't render BEL as a beep.
If through a terminal, i.e. running PHP from a shell command line, then just
"print chr(7);" should do it.

If the server - you'd have to (somehow) send a BEL to a local terminal?

one of the things I do to get a browser to beep, is to embed a piece of
flash with a beep in it, and set it to play once.

too many problems embeding sound otherways, besides, alot of people have
flash.
