how to recognise webpage.

[seany123]

is there some way of checking the pagename in php?

 

for example, home.php

 

 

also on a side question does anyone know how to autoplay a .avi video without showing anything but the actual video.. (im meaning i dont want to see the progress bar or play, stop, pause buttons etc)

 

all help would be great.

You can get the current file's name by using

 

basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);

 

To use like

 

if (basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) != "home.php") {
     reject user
}

 

Not sure if that's what you mean though...

Look at the server superglobals.  $_SERVER[]  ... there are a few that may do what you want.. the one off the top of my head is $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

 

As for the video, you will probably have to look into a custom player ( or use HTML 5's video tag (read long and hard about this before you use it)

why should i read long and hard about it before use?

Because with the new video and audio tags, they are not real easy to use. There is no 1 format that works across all browsers and some browsers don't even support them at the moment  (I am looking in your direction IE).
