PHP Video Page

[edot]

Hi,

 

I have created this page that should play a video from a remote folder and also display other details about the video (eg. Author, Description, Date).

 

When i Use this code it stops the page from loading fully and also shows no video or video name.

 

When i delete the while loop in the middle the page loads. But still no PHP elements.

 

Can you give me some advice or point me in the right direction?

 

<?php
require("connection.php");
$thevid = $_GET['u'];
$db = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM videos WHERE title = '$thevid'"); // use the defined username to filter the SELECT statement - should only come out with 1 result
?>
<div id="bodyPanel">
    	<table width="900">
          <tr>
          	<td width="600">
            <h1> <? while($details = mysql_fetch_array( $db )){ 
	       echo $details['title'];
	     ?>
            </h1>
            <p>
             <OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" WIDTH="600" HEIGHT="300" >

             </OBJECT>
            </p>

I see nothing glaringly terrible, except that you are using short php tags. Also, you should sanitize your input.
