You need to embed player in HTML, if you have to do it dynamically using PHP, do something like this...

$myAudioFile = "myAudiofile.wav";
echo '<EMBED SRC="'.$myAudioFile.'" HIDDEN="TRUE" AUTOSTART="TRUE"></EMBED>';

Update: As per the new HTML5 standard we can use the built-in audio player

$myAudioFile = "myAudiofile.wav";
echo '<audio autoplay="true" style="display:none;">
         <source src="'.$myAudioFile.'" type="audio/wav">
      </audio>';

And on Ubuntu Linux install something like play

sudo apt install sox

(from https://askubuntu.com/a/920542/355766)

Then in php

exec('/usr/bin/play /path/to/audio.wav');

On Windows we can use powershell:

exec('powershell -c (New-Object Media.SoundPlayer "C:\Windows\Media\notify.wav").PlaySync();');

PHP is only a processing language, it cannot play audio for the user, It can display HTML/Javascript code that will play the wav sound though.
