Including Flash/Images

Madwacker

Hi there-
I know that I cannot include a Flash or Image file w/o first embedding them into a simple HTML file. Without creating a forever and a day list of html pages, is there anyway that I can include a flash or image in a way like:

   // if there is a .swf in the var name
if stristr("$filename",".swf"){
   // put the code for embedding a flash file here

}elseif stristr("$filename",".jpg"){
   echo "<img src='$filename'>";

}

and so on... is there an easier way to do this? The user is selecting a Flash file or an Image or whatever from a drop down list and displaying it on the bottom of the page.

thanks

ok i got it. Just had to think more. I hope this helps anyone who might need it. Sorry that it stretches the page.

if (stristr("$filename",".swf")){
	// put the code for embedding a flash file here
		echo "
		<object classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0\">
		<param name=\"movie\" value=\"fun/$filename\">
		<param name=quality value=high>
		<embed src=\"fun/$filename\" quality=high pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\"></embed> 
		</object>
		";

}elseif (stristr("$filename",".jpg")){
	echo "<img src=\"fun/$filename\">";
}
