Well, you could get the video id and have in your root web directory a folder named "videos" so when a user uploads a video, it uploads it to that folder by the name of "1.avi","2.avi" and so on. Now, to use $_GET[] for that, it'd be something along the lines of...
Code: Select all<?php
//playvideo.php (Or whatever you want to call it)
$videoid = $_GET['id'];
?>
<html>
<head>
<TITLE> Show Video</TITLE>
</head>
<body>
<embed src="<?php echo 'http://www.yourwebsite.com/videos/'.$videoid.'.avi'; ?>" autostart="false" />
</body>
</html>
Basically, we get the id of the video from the URL (http://www.yourwebsite.com/playvideo.php?id=1) and it would embed the video "http://www.yourwebsite.com/videos/1.avi" and tell it not to start on page load.
Thanks

You would just change the <embed src= part to the HTML code for embedding those types of files.

Use width and height parameters.
640x385 is youtube width/height if that helps.
Code: Select all<embed src="<?php echo 'videos/'.$videoid.'.wmv'; ?>" autostart="false" width="640" height="385" />
