This is an X problem, not php. xmms has no clue what :display to 
run xmms on.

Today I tried to add another  option, that gives sound and send email.
The script works ok when I run from  shell. But when I add the code to 
cronjob, the email is send but NO SOUND. Any ideas what can cause such 
problem?

# Below the code that start the xmms sound
$alert = "/usr/bin/xmms /home/mike/Desktop/song1.mp3";
`$alert';
[/snip]

The problem is caused by bad code. See http://www.php.net/exec
