post a video?

[techker]

hey guys i want to make a litle script for my boddy's web site to upload video .that part is good but i have a quick question on posting the vids..

 

with pictures you usally do echo img...

 

if i store the path of the vid in my database and echo just the path will the video show?

 

and when you upload on youtube does it convert it to flv?

no, you can't use the path in quite that way, you will have to embed an object. You may need to change the video format too. Check out this link for a basic understanding of what you need to do:

hmm ok i get it..

 

so what if my link starts with

 

<embed src="<? echo info['link'] ?>" />

in a way... the embed tag is depreciated, so you will have to use the object tag, and that has a few more parameters that you will need to specify.

 

read through all the information on w3schools to get a better understanding of the object tag, and make sure the video is in a format that will be accepted by the object tag:
