Not actully come across one before, although if it is possiable, it going to put alot of load on the server.

PHP isn't really a good choice for this.

Your best bet would be to use Flash for this. As php has no way of activating any program on the users computer that will use the microphone, Flash by default has that ability. Once that happens, you need to create an application on your website that takes the information. Flash will send headers and file information in (I believe, I cant be positive) mp3 format. The headers will need to be able to be updated continual, so an md5 checksum will need to be utilized, php CAN do this, but it is advized you use something that will not use so many resources. Java would be your best bet all around. The only reason I say flash, is that flash will not need to be installed on the users computer as a seperate application, if you were to use JAVA, you would need to create both a client and a server application.

I have been working with such a system for a while, developement has come to a halt for me. If I come up with any other ideas, I will let you know.
