Re: load xmms config via php

for anyone that is interested...i can get php to load a config file of my
choice for xmms by changing the $HOME environment variable from
within php, eg:

putenv("HOME=/blah");
$start_xmms=shell_exec('bash -c "xmms -p /home/mp3/*  < /dev/null &"');

if i have the .xmms folder (incudling 'conf') in the 'blah' (or
whatever) directory then xmms loads these values as its conf
