Streaming and Redirects

[phatgreenbuds]

Ok so I have this little streaming video server internally that I am playing with. I wouild like to make a little drop down channel changer to move between the broadcasts. Here is the initial page:

 

<form method="post" action="channel.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<select name="channel"><br>
		<option value="Channel"> Channel</option>
		<option value="300"> 300 The Movie</option>
		<option value="atu"> Across The Universe</option>
		<option value="cww"> Charlie Wilson's War</option>
		</select>

	<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
	</form>

 

 

From there it goes to this PHP page where I am tring to have it redirect to the stream:

 

<?php
if (isset($_POST['channel'])) {
$chan = $_POST['channel'];
}
header( 'Location: mms://10.10.10.12/$chan' );

?>

 

I know the variable is getting passed properly but the redirect is not working and I have no clue.  Any ideas? Any suggestions for a better method?

Answered the exact same problem earlier today.

header( 'Location: mms://10.10.10.12/$chan' );

 

Change it to double quotes. Single quotes does not allow for variables.
