Idk but this line looks suspicious to me...

SRC="<?php "'$path' . '$file'" ?>"
Thats the first thing, and that could be the reason...

please excuse me but I don't know how to get the video into this equasion. I'm somewhat new to PHP but I'm building elements here and there and learning as I go on some projects. I'd like to host my own videos for my demo reel in my own server space and build a rad embedded video playback page for each video that I have to host locally. this looks like the right direction but I don't know how to anchor the video to it. please excuse the newbe request. thnks

It sounds like you don't actually have any videos at that path. Are you sure you're reffering tot the correct place for the file? Another issue cuold be with how you are handling the form itself. Could you possibly post an example of a path to a video you are using? That could help a lot.
