One php page for multiple files

[dreamwest]

I have about 100 or so swf movies and want to use only one page based on the url the user clicks

 

example:

http://www.site.com/video_player.php?1234.swf

 

where 1234.swf is the file

 

so based on the url - file 1234.swf should be displayed within:

 

	<p align="center">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj1" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" border="0" width="935" height="301">
<param name="movie" value="/1234.swf">
<param name="quality" value="High">
<embed src="/1234.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj1" width="920" height="520"></object>

 

im just not sure how to go about it....

<?php

//check if filename is a number 

if(!is_numeric($_GET['movie'])){
header('Location: index.php');
}

//check if file exists

if(!is_file($_GET['movie'].'.php')){
header('Location: index.php');
}

echo '   
<p align="center">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj1" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" border="0" width="935" height="301">
   <param name="movie" value="/'.$_GET['movie'].'.swf">
   <param name="quality" value="High">
   <embed src="/'.$_GET['movie'].'.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj1" width="920" height="520"></object>';
   
?>

can you elaborate a bit.....please :-\

 

Heres my directory structure...hope it helps

 

/files/          where swf files are stored

/video_player.php    where the player macromedia code is located

 

isnt header('Location: index.php'); a redirect to index.php, i cant see how this works

 

 

 

[waynewex]

That redirect will only come into place if the name of the file isn't a number or if the file doesn't exist.

 

Updated version to fit with your file structure.

 

<?php

//check if filename is a number 

if(!is_numeric($_GET['movie'])){



header('Location: index.php');
}

//check if file exists

if(!is_file('files/'.$_GET['movie'].'.php')){



header('Location: index.php');
}

echo '   
<p align="center">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj1" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" border="0" width="935" height="301">
   <param name="movie" value="/files/'.$_GET['movie'].'.swf">
   <param name="quality" value="High">
   <embed src="/files/'.$_GET['movie'].'.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj1" width="920" height="520"></object>';
   
?>

 

So if the user wants to watch file 123.swf, he navigates to this page like so:

 

video_player.php?movie=123

IT WORKS!!

 

Thanks!

 

I can basically pull out anything of a url string by using:

 

<?php echo ''.$_GET['anything'].'' ?>

 

This will be invaluable in the future

 

Thanks again!!
