Launch VLC with PHP

[iammacpro]

hi

I am trying to launch VLC with PHP, but still I get the answer:

Xlib: connection to ": 0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

Error: Unable to initialize gtk, is DISPLAY set properly?

I try first with a terminal

Indeed, since the current session is not that of the user www-data used by Apache, which is a "fake user" ...
What could I do?
Thank you

It must use the correct function php, proc_open () to start the process and proc_close () to close it.

This is a fairly complicated then search on the Internet because you're not the first to launch
