Launching Video with Javascript & PHP

mediastreamer

Hi,

I'm trying to launch a flash video from an iframe to play in a video player on another layer. In HTML it works, but I'm a little confused on how to incorporate a database call and javascript into the same line.

Here's the HTML version that works:

<a href="javascript:createplayer('/video/test.flv')">Test Video</a>

Here's the PHP I'm trying to fit this into:
...
echo "<tr>";
$filename = explode("/",$rfiles['vidlink']);
echo "<td bgcolor=".$rowcolor." style=\"padding-left:5px\" class='normal'><a href=javascript:createplayer(/'".$rfiles['vidlink']."') >".$rfiles['vidname']."</a></td></tr>";

The code does retrieve the vidlink/vidname file just fine. The problem is it won't launch in the video player on another layer. Any help would greatly be appreciated! Thanks. Jeff

This is the best flash video player I've ever worked with: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Player

In regards to your problem, it could be that the HTML is malformed.

echo "<td bgcolor=\"".$rowcolor."\" style=\"padding-left:5px\" class=\"normal\"><a href=\"javascript:createplayer(/'".$rfiles['vidlink']."')\" >".$rfiles['vidname']."</a></td></tr>";
