Help!! how To Display Video Using PHP

[Sean1989]

Hey all i wondered if you could help me, im trying to get a video file to display if there is one using this code:

 

 

$dir = "files/video/" .$review['topic_id'] . "/";

$files = array();

if(is_dir($dir)){  

//Handle files

    $handle = opendir($dir);

    while($this_file = readdir($handle)){

	if(is_file($dir . $this_file)){

		$ext = strtolower(substr($this_file,-1));

		if($ext == ".wmv"){

		    $files[] = $dir . $this_file;				

		}



        }

}

    closedir ($handle);

}



sort($files); //Alphabetise files

$total_files = count($files);



if($total_files !== 0){

print("<h2>Video</h2>\n");



//List Video
print("<!--Video-->\n");

for($i = 0; $i < $total_files; $i++){

	print("<a>video</a>");

}

print("<br clear=\"all\">");


}

 

I want it to either display the video as a link, or preferable actually display on the page as a plugin using this code:

 

<OBJECT id='mediaPlayer' width="384" height="333" 
      classid='CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95' 
      codebase='http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701'
      standby='Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components...' type='application/x-oleobject'>
      <param name='fileName' value="http://eggynews.byethost18.com/files/video/22.wmv">
      <param name='animationatStart' value='true'>
      <param name='transparentatStart' value='true'>
      <param name='autoStart' value="false">
      <param name='showControls' value="true">
      <param name='loop' value="true">
      <EMBED type='application/x-mplayer2'
        pluginspage='http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/'
        id='mediaPlayer' name='mediaPlayer' displaysize='4' autosize='-1' 
        bgcolor='darkblue' showcontrols="true" showtracker='-1' 
        showdisplay='0' showstatusbar='-1' videoborder3d='-1' width="384" height="333"
        src="http://eggynews.byethost18.com/files/video/22.wmv" autostart="true" designtimesp='5311' loop="true">
      </EMBED>
      </OBJECT>

      <!-- ...end embedded WindowsMedia file -->
    <!-- begin link to launch external media player... -->
        <tr><td align='center'>
        <a href="http://eggynews.byethost18.com/files/video/22.wmv" style='font-size: 85%;' target='_blank'>Launch in external player</a>
        <!-- ...end link to launch external media player... -->

I tried using flash before but it wouldn't work either.  How would embed the flash as well? would it be similar to shown above?

almost!

Would it look something like this..?

 

if(is_file("files/videos/" . $review['topic_id'] . ".wmv")){
     print("<EMBED SRC="URL" WIDTH="XXX" HEIGHT="XXX" AUTOSTART="False"></EMBED>");
}

umm..

<embed src="http://www.site.com/flvplayer.swf" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="file=http://www.site.co.za/flvideos/vidoe.flv&showdigits=true&autostart=true&bufferlength=10" height="370" width="450">

Im using a .wmv file though, how would it code then?

[Sean1989]

I've got this so far...

 

if(is_file("files/videos/" . $review['topic_id'] . ".wmv")){
    print("<EMBED type='application/x-mplayer2'
        pluginspage='http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/'
        id='mediaPlayer' name='mediaPlayer' displaysize='4' autosize='-1' 
        bgcolor='darkblue' showcontrols="true" showtracker='-1' 
        showdisplay='0' showstatusbar='-1' videoborder3d='-1' width="384" height="333"
        src=" . $files[$i] . "\">"" autostart="true" designtimesp='5311' loop="true">
      </EMBED>");
}
