note 102395 added to function.system

I was trying to get the server-side to beep in windows 7.  I finally found something that would work without creating my own EXE.

Create a batch file with at the CMD prompt type:
 
   echo @echo (Alt-7)>beep.bat

Then execute it in PHP with:

   exec ('start /MIN c:\your_path_here\beep.bat');

NOTE: The only drawback I can find is that a cmd.exe does visually flash on the system (which is why I used the /MIN to ensure it only goes to the taskbar).  Not really sure why I don't like that, but it was a side effect that I wasn't looking for.
