[SOLVED] Echo an flv

textbox · May 23, 2007

Hello all, I am currently trying to pump out a list of flv's which are being dynamically populated.

My script for this works.

However, how do I put the flv object code into an echo?!?

<?php
$sql = "SELECT * FROM mms_message_element ORDER BY inbound_mms_id ASC";
	//get the latest 
$spacer = "  ";
$getflash = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mms_message_element ORDER BY inbound_mms_id ASC");

while 
($flv=mysql_fetch_array
	($getflash)
)
{

echo "<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="240" height="180" id="FLVPlayer">
  <param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" />
  <param name="salign" value="lt" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  <param name="scale" value="noscale" />
  <param name="FlashVars" value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=$flv[flvlocation]&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false" />
  <embed src="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" flashvars="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=$flv[flvlocation]&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="240" height="180" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>";

If there is another way to do this then please let me know. I wish to display a list of flv's. The file location is stored in my db.

Thanks

Nick

<body onload="MM_CheckFlashVersion('7,0,0,0','Content on this page requires a newer version of Macromedia Flash Player. Do you want to download it now?');">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="240" height="180" id="FLVPlayer">
  <param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" />
  <param name="salign" value="lt" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  <param name="scale" value="noscale" />
  <param name="FlashVars" value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=<? echo  $flv_location; ?>&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false" />
  <embed src="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" flashvars="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=<? echo $flv_location; ?>&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="240" height="180" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

Meant to include this.

This is the standard html output for embedding an flv.

textbox · May 24, 2007

Still struggling with this.

Does anyone else know of another way to do it?!

Thanks

Nick

corbin · May 24, 2007

So you're trying to display this flash file for every flv row you pull from the DB?

The easiest way to do that would be using a function and passing the args into html or using sprintf() (look it up).

I would most likely go with the sprintf method, but that's just me.

If I misunderstood you, please elucidate your question.

textbox · May 24, 2007

Thanks Corbin, thats exactly what i wish to do.

I want to display as many flash video files are there are, with flv_location being the address of the file.

I'll look into the sprint() function.

What is what field type do you have your images set as?

<?php
$query="UPDATE images SET imagelocation='$path_big/$rand_name.$file_ext', thumblocation='$path_thumbs/$rand_name.$file_ext' WHERE username = '$username'";
mysql_query($query);
?>

textbox · May 24, 2007

In the db?

Just as a varchar.

Trium918 · May 24, 2007

In the db?

Just as a varchar.

How are you pulling it out?

MadTechie · May 24, 2007

read the script (first post) via mysql_fetch_array!

Trium918 · May 24, 2007

read the script (first post) via mysql_fetch_array!

I understand that much.

textbox · May 24, 2007

Sorry Trium, i dont mean to be rude, but are you trying to get the code working yourself (like you did the other day with the image upload) or are you looking at ways i can rectify my problem?!

Ive looked into the sprintf() functions and to be honest its baffling me!!:S

trq · May 24, 2007

Assuming the filed storing the .flv names is called flvfile.

<?php

  $sql = "SELECT * FROM mms_message_element ORDER BY inbound_mms_id ASC";
  if ($result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mms_message_element ORDER BY inbound_mms_id ASC")) {
    if (mysql_num_rows($result)) {
      while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($getflash)) {
        echo "<object classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" id=\"FLVPlayer\">
  <param name=\"movie\" value=\"{$row['flvfile']}\" />
  <param name=\"salign\" value=\"lt\" />
  <param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" />
  <param name=\"scale\" value=\"noscale\" />
  <param name=\"FlashVars\" value=\"&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName={$row['flvlocation']}&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false\" />
  <embed src=\"{$row['flvfile']}\" flashvars=\"&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName={$row['flvlocation']}&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false\" quality=\"high\" scale=\"noscale\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" name=\"FLVPlayer\" salign=\"LT\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\" />
</object>";
      }
    }
  }

?>

I got it working and I took some of the script that wasn't needed!

Thanks for that Thorpe.

Sadly though it doesnt output anything?!

Any ideas?

Maybe your query is failing.... try.

Oh, and the $ i need to drag out is called $flv_location

trq · May 25, 2007

I'll assume you mean that to be the name of the field?

<?php

    if (mysql_num_rows($result)) {
      while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($getflash)) {

  <param name=\"movie\" value=\"{$row['flv_location']}\" />
  <param name=\"salign\" value=\"lt\" />
  <param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" />
  <param name=\"scale\" value=\"noscale\" />
  <param name=\"FlashVars\" value=\"&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName={$row['flv_location']}&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false\" />

      }
    } else {
      echo "no records found";
    }
  } else {
    echo "Query failed" . mysql_error();
  }

?>

textbox · May 25, 2007

No output echoed in terms of errors.

No output echoed in terms of flash either

I wonder if something like a flash video playlist would be an easier way to do it?

Driven on XML pulling in the locations in php.

I know this can be done.

I have however no idea how!!!

Great isnt it!

MadTechie · May 25, 2007

what about!

<?php


  if ($result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mms_message_element ORDER BY id ASC")) {
    if (mysql_num_rows($result)){
      while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($getflash)) {
        print_r($row);
        echo "<br>";
      }
    } else {
      echo "no records found";
    }
  } else {
    echo "Query failed" . mysql_error();
  }

?>

thats must return something

textbox · May 25, 2007

That doesnt return anything?! Which i dont get.

The table name is correct and populated.

The field name flv_location.

trq · May 25, 2007

Ah... I see the error.

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($getflash)) {

should be....

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

MadTechie · May 25, 2007

i have to ask..

you sure your uploading to the correct place etc

add

die("END");

at the top if that fails check what you uploading and where!

EDIT: Digs a hole and hide.. how did i miss that..

textbox · May 25, 2007

Thanks a lot guys, i did notice that earlier and meant to ask where it was coming from, but then forgot!

Thanks a lot Thorpe and Techie!
