skyer2000 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 (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!
