I'm not exactly sure of the principles here, but is it possible to hide php inside a SMIL file or an RPM file?
basically I want to dynamically generate a <SMIL> file to send to RealPlayer or Quicktime for a multimedia database.
should I have PHP write to a file and then send that to the media player?
You can try this stupid way:
Edit your httpd.conf file, change
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
to
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .smi
Don't forget to restart httpd.
