How can I use 'passthru' to start a program on the server and to send the created .wav-file back to the browser??

// must make sure user data is safe
$user_data = escape_shell_cmd( $user_data ) ;

// set up the command
$cmd = "txt_to_speech $user_data" ;

// tell browser what kind of content to expect
header( "Content-Type: audio/x-wav" ) ;

// give the file to the user
passthru ($cmd) ;
