ramiwahdan · June 15, 2020

Hi,

I have made picture slideshow and included many pictures for the slideshow but i also added a video, how to make it apear as it is not appearing.

code:

<?php
//index.php
$connect = mysqli_connect("dbhost", "dbuser", "dbpassword", "dbname");
function make_query($connect)
{
 $query = "SELECT * FROM banner ORDER BY banner_id ASC";
 $result = mysqli_query($connect, $query);
 return $result;
}

function make_slide_indicators($connect)
{
 $output = ''; 
 $count = 0;
 $result = make_query($connect);
 while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
 {
  if($count == 0)
  {
   $output .= '
   <li data-target="#dynamic_slide_show" data-slide-to="'.$count.'" class="active"></li>
   ';
  }
  else
  {
   $output .= '
   <li data-target="#dynamic_slide_show" data-slide-to="'.$count.'"></li>
   ';
  }
  $count = $count + 1;
 }
 return $output;
}

function make_slides($connect)
{
 $output = '';
 $count = 0;
 $result = make_query($connect);
 while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
 {
  if($count == 0)
  {
   $output .= '<div class="item active">';
  }
  else
  {
   $output .= '<div class="item">';
  }
  $output .= '
   <img src="banner/'.$row["banner_image"].'" alt="'.$row["banner_title"].'" />
   <div class="carousel-caption">
    <h3>'.$row["banner_title"].'</h3>
   </div>
  </div>
  ';
  $count = $count + 1;
 }
 return $output;
}

?>

    <?php echo make_slide_indicators($connect); ?>
    </ol>

    <div class="carousel-inner">
     <?php echo make_slides($connect); ?>
    </div>
    <a class="left carousel-control" href="#dynamic_slide_show" data-slide="prev">
     <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left"></span>
     <span class="sr-only">Previous</span>
    </a>

    <a class="right carousel-control" href="#dynamic_slide_show" data-slide="next">
     <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span>
     <span class="sr-only">Next</span>
    </a>

   </div>
  </div>
 </body>
</html>

in the database i have the names of the photos from 1 to 5 then a video. The photos are shown but the video is not showing. Is there a way to include it in the slideshow? If not, is it possible to have a video player instead.

Thanks.

  $output .= '
   <img src="banner/'.$row["banner_image"].'" alt="'.$row["banner_title"].'" />
   <div class="carousel-caption">
    <h3>'.$row["banner_title"].'</h3>
   </div>
  </div>
  ';

Obviously you need to change that, right?

Figure out what HTML markup you need to show a video, then change your code so that it (a) knows whether the item to display is an image or video, then (b) puts the appropriate markup into $output.
