Turn php variable back into it's original filename please ?

[uktab]

Hi - I have a site that uses php to let users play an mp3 chosen from a list. The mp3 variable name is always $imgname12.
Quicktime then plays whatever mp3 the user chose, but using the variable $imgname12 instead of the actual mp3 filename.
Can anyone please tell me how to get the original filename from $imgname12 as I want to replace Quicktime with a flash player, but can't work out how to get the flash player to read $imgname12 - it only seems to work if you pass it an actual filename such as song.mp3 etc.
Or, is there a way to make a flash player work with a php variable ?

If anyone needs to view the quicktime code currently on the site just let me know and I'll post it here!

Thanks in advance,
Tab.

without the appropriate code, there's not way to even guess.

Thanks for replying.

The code is from my site http://makin-trax.co.uk if you'd like to see the code in action.

Select a genre on the left - a list of music will appear on the right. The user then clicks on a track title to play it.
(The mp3s are in a folder called 'images')

This is the piece of code that calls the quicktime player and passes the chosen mp3 to it...

if ($imgname12!="") {

// $imgname12 is the chosen mp3

echo("<p><img src=images/speaker.gif border=0 align=absmiddle> Now playing 30 sec. mono demo...");

echo("<embed src='images/" . $imgname12 . "' autostart=true loop=false width=200 height=100></embed>");

What I'm having trouble with is getting the flash player (the free premiumbeat.com single song player) to accept $imgname12.

Thank you again for your help.
