Playing music files

[Shelly]

I have a list of file descriptions in a list box that is filled via a php
mysql select. I know the name of the file that is described by the file
that is select from that list box. It is an audio file. I have a "Play"
button. I know how to get to a section of code when the user clicks that
button.

Question 1: What do I have to do to make it play on the the user's machine
when he clicks the "Play" button.
Question 2: When he terminates the music, I want it to stay on the original
page.

try this, it used to work on my old server, but now its a bit wonky,
does work though. link to:
script.php?song =coolsong.mp3 ,

and make this the contents thereof:

header("Cache-control: private");
header("Content-type: audio/x-mpegurl");
header("Content-disposition: inline;filename =stream.m3u");
echo "http://www.yourdomain. com/mp3z/".$_get['song'];

should start streaming that song in the users player of choice. User
should never actually leave the page, the song will just start.

for some wierd reason, it now loads about ten songs in my player, the
last one being the actual song:
<br -->

<br -->
b><br -->
<br -->
b><br -->

what's with the <BR>s??? there is no <BR> in my script that i am
linking to. Only thing that's changed is the server, and i had to
change permissions on the text file that i'm using for a counter (which
is supposed to increment, used to, not now)

Thanks. I tried this. It brought up the windows media player skin, but the
message I got was that it was unable to play any of the playlist.

First, it asked for a login to the server.
Second, it said it was unable to play that type even though it plays that
file locally on my machine.

One more thing. I originally posted that I wanted it selected from a list
of files. Do I do this with?

header("Locatio n: myfile.php?song =thesong.mid");

Yes. I answered my own question.
