crmamx Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I have tried everything I could find to embed an audio file (wav, midi, mp3) on a web page and get it to work on the server. I am sure the file is on the server. I can get it to work on the PC (double click html program).

ZulfadlyAshBurn Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 you may want to look at html5 video/audio embed codes. are you sure that you are pointing your file in the placed its located. sometimes, your pc and hosting server have different folder names etc. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/244837-adding-audio-to-a-web-page/#findComment-1257703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
crmamx Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 The html5 embed tags are what I have been trying to use...with different options. Can't get any of them to work on the server. My pc files and server files have identical names. I have tried mp3, midi and wav files and I am positive they exist on the server. As a side note my video files play ok.

crmamx Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 do you have an online example of your code that is not working? I am not a fan of w3schools but since they have an example with a horse i must link to it http://www.w3schools.com/html5/tag_audio.asp Also the browser must be ready for it Here is what works on the PC. <object> <param name="autostart" value="true"> <param name="src" value="Orange_Blossom_Special.mp3"> <param name="autoplay" value="true"> <param name="controller" value="true"> <embed src="Orange_Blossom_Special.mp3" controller="true" autoplay="true" autostart="True" type="audio/wav" /> </object> This works on the PC where the html and audio are in the same file. Note that type=audio/wav. If I change that to mp3 it will not work. Here is the code I have uploaded to the server and it will not work. <object> <param name="autostart" value="true"> <param name="src" value="Orange_Blossom_Special.mp3"> <param name="autoplay" value="true"> <param name="controller" value="true"> <embed src="public_html/Web_Page_Files/Sound/Orange_Blossom_Special.mp3" controller="true" autoplay="true" autostart="True" type="audio/wav" /> </object> I have tried every variation of the embed src= that there is including putting the audio in the same folder as the program but I can't get it to work.
