PHP/MySQL

Hi All,

I'm completely new to PHP/MYSQL and was wondering if anybody could advise me on the best approach to take in trying to get short movie files to automatically open in a HTML page showing the movie picked. Any help would be appreciated.

Store a list of movies somewhere, most likely in a MySQL database (I'm assuming?)

Pass a variable in the URL to your PHP script telling which movie to look for (a unique ID). Grab the filename of this movie from the database, and whack it in an HTML tag. Print the tag.

As for the automatic opening, that's Javascript's field.

That's about the gist of it 🙂

Jeb,

Many thanks - I should have been clearer and yes the movies were to be stored in MYSQL.

Cheers
