[SOLVED] Need help with coding

[Leadfoot]

I'm very new to PHP and I am trying to get a youtube video to showup on my web page.

I have a script that will display the thumbnail and a discription, but I would like to display the video.

 

I can link this way

 <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ch7LGKVYm58"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ch7LGKVYm58" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> 

 

I would like to display a random video using this type of link.

 

the video display code in the script is

 //video display options
	for($i = 0; $i<$howmany; $i++){

		print "<p><a href=\"".$url[0][$i]."\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"".$thumb_nail[0][$i]."\"></a>".$description[0][$i]."</p>"; 

	}

 

I hope I explained it ok

Thanks
