Adam Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 freelance84 provided you with a tutorial that explains how to retrieve MySQL data using PHP. After reading it carefully for a good understanding, you should be able to adapt the examples there to fit what you need to do. If you get stuck, show us the code you have so far and we'll go from there.

freaker87 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 put that into the variable like... $surl = $row['yourfieldname']; then src="$surl"; I think it'll work Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/251538-retriving-url-from-database/#findComment-1289975 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberRobot Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 There may be other issues, but the thing that jumps out at me is the use of double quotes inside of a double quoted string: <?php //... echo "<video class="jwplayer" src=".$info['path']." width="252" height="250"></video>"; //... ?> You need to escape the quotes, switch to a single quoted string, or use single quotes for your attributes. For example: <?php //... echo '<video class="jwplayer" src=' . $info['path'] . ' width="252" height="250"></video>'; //... ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/251538-retriving-url-from-database/#findComment-1289989 Share on other sites More sharing options...
