problem in playing the selected video in the embedded quicktime player

[josephChiaWY]

Hi all,

 

Recently, i have met a problem in playing the selected video in the embedded quicktime player. I am creating a video gallery for people to view their .mov file on quicktime player. Below are parts of my code:

 

Code: ( php )

if($ext=="mov"){

 

echo  "<object classid='clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B' width=320 height=240 standby='Data is loading...' codebase='http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab'>

                  <param name=src value='$getVideoPath'>

                  <param name='autohref' value='true'>

                  <param name='controller' value='true'>

                  <param name='href' value='$getVideoPath'>

                  <param name='target' value='quicktimeplayer'>

                  <embed src='$getVideoPath' type='image/x-quicktime' width=320 height=240 autohref='true' controller='true' href='$getVideoPath' target='quicktimeplayer'>

                  </embed>

                  </object>";

}

 

The output results is a Quicktime logo being shown and none of the video selected is shown

 

*Note: $getVideoPath variable is the path where the user's video are stored.

$ext is the file name extension. So far only my file that is .avi is working on windows media player.

Can we see the whole PHP file? Just to make sure you have everything you need.

<?php
//get the username from db where the email entered by the users matches the one in db
      $getVideoResult = MYSQL_QUERY("SELECT video_id, videoName, path from videos WHERE video_id='$getVideoId' AND email='$email'");

     //get the result
     $getVideoMatch = mysql_fetch_array($getVideoResult);
  
     $getVideoPath = $getVideoMatch['path'];
     $videoNameExt =$getVideoMatch['videoName'];

     $getVideoName = substr($videoNameExt, 0, strrpos($videoNameExt,"."));
         $ext = substr($videoNameExt, strrpos($videoNameExt, '.') + 1);

     $_SESSION['path'] =$getVideoPath;
		   
         echo "<img src=../Image/videoIcon.gif border=0\><br />";
     echo "<span class=style3><a href=$getVideoPath>". $getVideoName ."</a></span></td><br />";

*if the video extension is not .mov file it will be using windows media player to play the videos.
