PHP Video Playlist?

[europe451]

Alright, so I have been trying to a sort of play list to work for some videos, and I don't want to buy a player. I have been trying to do this in Flash, and was fairly successful with a flash player linked to an xml play list.

Though, I am still not happy with it.

I was browsing around and found this website that has accomplished exactly what I would like to do.

It seems that they did this with PHP, which didn't even cross my mind. Which is why I am trying to find some help. Does anyone know of either a tutorial for something like this or at least a good place to get started?

Any help is appreciated

There's nothing special about that PHP. It's basically an image gallery, probably generated from a database. The only special part is that there's a video embedded in the page instead of an image, but this is just the html, and the video's src is dynamically generated using PHP just like you would for an image gallery.

Design a layout, insert stuff into the database, and use PHP loops to output it.

Additionally, there's no way to know if that is just hard coded or not, but it's probably dynamically generated.


If you want to use XML, you can actually use PHP to dynamically generate XML files that can then be read with Flash.


PHP is a text-generating language. You can generate anything you want with it... the rest is just a question of method and what you want to generate.
