(sorry title is supposed to read "If statement using file extensions")

I'm trying to figure this out for my media website. I've got 2 types of videos to display, either .flv or .wmv. What I'm trying to figure out is a "if" statement i could use so that if the file ends in .wmv, it will display one way, else it will display another way for the .flv files.

Thanks in advance!

Use the [a href=\"http://www.php.net/pathinfo\" target=\"_blank\"]pathinfo[/a]() function to get the extension:
[code]<?php
$pi = pathinfo($filename);
switc $pi['extenson'] {
   case 'flv':
//
// do the flv processing
//
   break;
   case 'wmv':
//
// do the wmv processing
//
   break;
}
?>[/code]

I had to edit the code a tad to get rid of errors, but now it just displays the page without anything between the "case 'wmv';" and the first "break", even when the $page['url'] calls up the filename (movie.wmv). Any ideas?
