Need to open media in own window

Anti

Hey all,
I am trying to get a window to pop up and play media from a directory. Here is the code I have been trying and doesn't seem to work. Any help? I am brand new to this stuff.

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php $media = $_GET['media']; ?>
<object id="MediaPlayer1" classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components...">
<PARAM NAME="fileName" VALUE ="<?= $media?>">
<PARAM NAME="animationatStart" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="transparentatStart" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="autoStart" VALUE="false">
<PARAM NAME="showControls" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="ShowStatusBar" VALUE="True">
<EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download"
ID=MediaPlayer
Name="mp_426289569"
Width="320"
Height="311"
Src="<?= $media ?>"
AutoSize="1"
AutoStart="1"
ClickToPlay="1"
DisplaySize="0"
EnableContextMenu="1"
EnableFullScreenControls="1"
EnableTracker="1"
Mute="0"
PlayCount="1"

ShowAudioControls="1"
ShowDisplay="0"
ShowGotoBar="0"
ShowPositionControls="1"
ShowStatusBar="1"
ShowTracker="1">
</embed>
</OBJECT>
</body>
</html>

Try changing these two lines

<PARAM NAME="fileName" VALUE ="<?= $media?>">
Src="<?= $media ?>"

To something like:

<PARAM NAME="fileName" VALUE ="<?php  echo "$media"; ?>"
Src="<?php echo "$media"; ?>"

oh yeah the file is media.php

i want it to do something like this when i link

media.php?=media.wmv

Still won't seem to play

🙁

phil_j_poore

you need it so that your link includes your...

$_GET["media"];

variable so that your link to your media will be ....

<a href="media.php?media=media.wav">link</a>

i hope this helps....

Ok, that works but one more question

I want to put media.php in the main www folder, but the media will be at

www.hawtalta.com/video

What is the code to direct it to that path?
