Embedding Flash in PHP

[hellonoko]

My below code uses a bit of Flash to create a mini mp3 player button for each mp3 in a directory.

 

As it stands there are 3 test files in the directory but for some reason only the first flash player button is displayed and not the name of the file.

 

So for some reason the loop is failing after the embedded flash.

 

Any ideas?

 

<?php

   	$arr = array();

   	foreach (glob("*.*") as $filename) 
   	{
      	$arr[$filename] = filemtime($filename);

   	}



   	arsort($arr);
   	echo "<br>";

   	foreach($arr as $key => $value) 
{
    	
	if ( $key !== "filelist3.php")
	{

		echo '<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.sharingizcaring.com/button/musicplayer.swf?&song_url=http://www.sharingizcaring.com/REPOSITORY/$key" width="17" height="17">';
         	echo '<param name="movie" value="http://www.sharingizcaring.com/button/musicplayer.swf?&song_url=http://www.sharingizcaring.com/REPOSITORY/$key"/>';

         	echo '<img src="noflash.gif" width="17" height="17" alt="" />';
         	echo "$key<br>";
	}
   	} 
?>

Variables are not interpolated within single quotes.

[hellonoko]

So the double quotes within single quotes is wrong and i should concatenate instead?

echo "<object type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" data=\"http://www.sharingizcaring.com/button/musicplayer.swf?&song_url=http://www.sharingizcaring.com/REPOSITORY/$key\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\">";

echo '<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.sharingizcaring.com/button/musicplayer.swf?&song_url=http://www.sharingizcaring.com/REPOSITORY/'.$key.'" width="17" height="17">';
        	echo '<param name="movie" value="http://www.sharingizcaring.com/button/musicplayer.swf?&song_url=http://www.sharingizcaring.com/REPOSITORY/'.$key.'"/>';

 

I think that's what thorpe meant.

 

Edit: Or not

[hellonoko]

thorpe. your version returns:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home2/sharingi/public_html/REPOSITORY/filelist3.php on line 32

 

blade that is what i also though he meant but that did not work either.

[trq]

There is no syntax error in my code, maybe something you have prior to it. Post what you have.

full code:

 

<?php

   	$arr = array();

   	foreach (glob("*.*") as $filename) 
   	{
      	$arr[$filename] = filemtime($filename);
    	//echo $filename . " was last modified on " . date('M d Y, h:i:m', filemtime($filename)) . "<br>";    
   	}

   ///
   
   //asort($arr);
   //echo "<br>";

//foreach($arr as $key => $value) 
   	//{
    //	echo "$key was last modified on " . date('M d Y, h:i:m', $value) . "<br>";
   	//}

///

   	arsort($arr);
   	echo "<br>";

   	foreach($arr as $key => $value) 
{
    	
	if ( $key !== "filelist3.php")
	{

		echo "<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.sharingizcaring.com/button/musicplayer.swf?&song_url=http://www.sharingizcaring.com/REPOSITORY/$key" width="17" height="17">";
         	echo "<param name="movie" value="http://www.sharingizcaring.com/button/musicplayer.swf?&song_url=http://www.sharingizcaring.com/REPOSITORY/$key"/>";

         	echo "<img src="noflash.gif" width="17" height="17" alt="" />";
         	echo "$key<br>";
	}
   	} 
?>

If your going to have double quotes within double quotes they need to be escaped like I posted in my example. Otherwise simply use single quotes within the double quoted string.

[hellonoko]

Escaped the quotes and does not have any errors but still only displays one song. And not the first one.

<?php

   	$arr = array();

   	foreach (glob("*.*") as $filename) 
   	{
      	$arr[$filename] = filemtime($filename);
    	//echo $filename . " was last modified on " . date('M d Y, h:i:m', filemtime($filename)) . "<br>";    
   	}

   ///
   
   //asort($arr);
   //echo "<br>";

//foreach($arr as $key => $value) 
   	//{
    //	echo "$key was last modified on " . date('M d Y, h:i:m', $value) . "<br>";
   	//}

///

   	arsort($arr);
   	echo "<br>";

   	foreach($arr as $key => $value) 
{
    	
	if ( $key !== "filelist3.php")
	{


		echo "<object type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" data=\"http://www.sharingizcaring.com/button/musicplayer.swf?&song_url=http://www.sharingizcaring.com/REPOSITORY/$key\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\">";
         	echo "<param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.sharingizcaring.com/button/musicplayer.swf?&song_url=http://www.sharingizcaring.com/REPOSITORY/$key\"/>";

         	echo "<img src=\"noflash.gif\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" alt=\"\" />";
         	echo "$key<br>";
	}
   	} 
?>

 

Tried it with soft quotes on the outside '<object.....

 

And that does not break the loop but breaks the Flash. That is how it is now.

[DeanWhitehouse]

maybe change

foreach($arr as $key => $value)

to

foreach($arr as $key)

 

or not?

[hellonoko]

Blade.

 

Tried it but it just lists numbers now.

 

The part of the script that displays a list of files works fine.

 

It just when I add in the flash music player functionality that it fails.
