You can do two things-
1. Read the file by providing a base directory path of the server where the
file exist.
Something like- //htdocs/httpfolder/files/audio/yourfile.mp3
You can take this in a variable " //htdocs/httpfolder/files/audio/".
2. Try using file_get_contents.
Something like $file = file_get_contents('
http://www.example.com/audio/file.mp3', false, $context);
Hope this helps.
