I thought Odeo would solve my problems. (The have their own problems
now.) Then I tried: MyChingo and Mobasoft. COme on $6,000 for a site
licence.
Are there any php alternatives? Or do you know an flash code I can
find in sourceforge, that I might hack, or combine PHP & Flash so they
can record me messages in mp3 and submit them?

John-
I guess my question is do you really need Flash for this? If they are
uploading their recorded messages client side then they should be able
to record/convert the audio files to .MP3 before even uploading them. If
you just need the files somewhere online where you can download them for
playback later (or even stream from the site) then really all you need
is an Upload script that will take their audio files and upload them to
the server to a specific location. Now if you want to offer a conversion
of WAV to MP3 for them, I suggest FFMpeg, it's run on the server side.
You can modify your upload script to not only upload the WAV file but
then convert it out to MP3 to a specific location using FFMPeg commands
then trash the WAV file.
Do you have control over the server or are you just hosting your website
there? You'll need to find out if the upload function is even turned on
and what the max file size for upload is. Otherwise you'll just have to
make a few minor adjustments to your php.ini to handle the larger file
uploads.
