PHP - Embedded Video Help

PHP = 5.5.14 MySQL = 5.2.17   This simple .php script works as a standalone OK:

<?php

require '<snip partial URL>mysqli.php';

// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
  {
  echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
  }

$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT `callsign`, `qth`, `submitted` FROM `lqplogs` ORDER BY `callsign`");

echo "<table>
<tr>
<th><u>CALLSIGN</u></th><th><u>QTH</u></th><th><u>LOG SUBMITTED</u></th>
</tr>";


while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
  echo "<tr>";
  echo "<td>" . $row['callsign'] . "</td>";
  echo "<td>" . $row['qth'] . "</td>";
  echo "<td>" . $row['submitted'] . "</td>";
  echo "</tr>";
}

echo "</table>";

mysqli_close($con);
?>

A separate .html page with other info works by itself OK too, but when I try to embed the PHP script (with PHP start & end tags, of course)  *between* these HTML tags:   <table> <tr> <td>   ... Full PHP Script Embedded here...   </td> </tr> </table>   I get this mess:

"; while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) { echo ""; echo ""; echo ""; echo ""; echo ""; } echo "
CALLSIGN	QTH	LOG SUBMITTED
" . $row['callsign'] . "	" . $row['qth'] . "	" . $row['submitted'] . "
"; mysqli_close($con); ?> 

Any thoughts as to why are appreciated.   Thanks!   - FreakingOUT    

Hi All,

There is a very interesting solved topic here (http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=304966.0) about how to access elements in embedded _POST array.

But before accessing an element, it might be appropriate to check whether the array it is supposed to be in exists.

According to the solution given in the topic indicated above, Code: [Select]
$_POST['matType'] is an example of embedded array . Is there a way to check if this array exists?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi folks,

I'm using this code to display a picture that is uploaded in a form.

Code: [Select]

print "<img src='http://www.coast2kosci.com/mylongrun/test/photo_uploads/$imgx' width='300' height='300'  alt='Your photo' />";


At first I tried specifying only the width, without the height. But for tall photos, the display wasn't really what I was after.

Then I specified both width and height, which results in a mis-scaled photo.

Is there any way that I can specify the height and width atributes as a sort of maximum / or limiter. Ie:  If the height is greater than the width, limit the height to 300, and if the width is greater than the height, limit the width to 300?

Thanks for your time,

Dave

I want to place Custom background image for embedded media player

Can anyone help me?

i have an admin page that lists all the rows from a table. One of the fields is generated using FCKEditor, so the field has HTML Code in it.  I would like to only show the first 100 or so chars of the field, but if the 100 chars ends in the middle of HTML code, specifically in this case <a href>, it cuts off, and creates "havoc" in my page.  Is there a way to avoid this by seeing that the 100 char is in the middle of an <a href> tag (or any tag for that matter?

Here is what the generated html can look like ::

<td class="tdresults">We are very excited to offer three great events at the <a href="http://www.mylongwebsite.c</td>
<td class="tdresults">next field data</td>

Thank you in advance.

Hello, i just joined the forums, nice forum .

Well im looking for a solution. I want download the videos from a site, but i cant find a solution how to get the location of the video, cause its dynamic.

Here is a sample video: http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1946215

And here is the link to the video: http://8.media.collegehumor.cvcdn.com/21/12/a8cc907f5e150fe77ce7c0c47b1b9d31.mp4

That link i got via a FIREFOX Addon called "DownloadHelper" this addon finds the location with help of http headers. So is it possible way to find the videos with php?

Thanks for help.

In my php web site the video player appears and plays the video. In Chrome you can right click on the player screen and choose 'inspect element' etc, but another choice is 'Copy video URL'. How can I block that, or hide (or disguise/rename) video URLs?

Hi guys,

My first post here. I would like to seek you guys help about playing video from mysql. I wanted to upload video to database and also play it inside my webpage using the media player format.

Thank in advance

So i have a large video files, 1.5 gigs even.
I made an html5 video player where the source is a php file.
The php file is supposed to go below the web root and serve the video file to the html5 video tag.

This all works just fine if the video using a script that uses HTTP_RANGE to serve the file in parts to the client.
The problem is, once one video is playing - i can't do anything else.  Its like the server locks up. I mean i can scrub that video, i can do anything to that page.  I just can't navigate away.  But i can open a new browser and play a new video.  But again, once that first one is playing, or even paused, i can't do anything else.

That is of course until i restart apache.

Any ideas on how to stream these large files better? I have a feeling they are set to stream and never stop.
This is the code for that

Code: [Select]
function rangeDownload($file) {
 
$fp = @fopen($file, 'rb');
 
$size   = filesize($file); // File size
$length = $size;           // Content length
$start  = 0;               // Start byte
$end    = $size - 1;       // End byte
// Now that we've gotten so far without errors we send the accept range header
/* At the moment we only support single ranges.
* Multiple ranges requires some more work to ensure it works correctly
* and comply with the spesifications: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec19.html#sec19.2
*
* Multirange support annouces itself with:
* header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
*
* Multirange content must be sent with multipart/byteranges mediatype,
* (mediatype = mimetype)
* as well as a boundry header to indicate the various chunks of data.
*/
header("Accept-Ranges: 0-$length");
// header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
// multipart/byteranges
// http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec19.html#sec19.2
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'])) {
 
$c_start = $start;
$c_end   = $end;
// Extract the range string
list(, $range) = explode('=', $_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'], 2);
// Make sure the client hasn't sent us a multibyte range
if (strpos($range, ',') !== false) {
 
// (?) Shoud this be issued here, or should the first
// range be used? Or should the header be ignored and
// we output the whole content?
header('HTTP/1.1 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable');
header("Content-Range: bytes $start-$end/$size");
// (?) Echo some info to the client?
exit;
}
// If the range starts with an '-' we start from the beginning
// If not, we forward the file pointer
// And make sure to get the end byte if spesified
if ($range == '-') {
 
// The n-number of the last bytes is requested
$c_start = $size - substr($range, 1);
}
else {
 
$range  = explode('-', $range);
$c_start = $range[0];
$c_end   = (isset($range[1]) && is_numeric($range[1])) ? $range[1] : $size;
}
/* Check the range and make sure it's treated according to the specs.
* http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html
*/
// End bytes can not be larger than $end.
$c_end = ($c_end > $end) ? $end : $c_end;
// Validate the requested range and return an error if it's not correct.
if ($c_start > $c_end || $c_start > $size - 1 || $c_end >= $size) {
 
header('HTTP/1.1 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable');
header("Content-Range: bytes $start-$end/$size");
// (?) Echo some info to the client?
exit;
}
$start  = $c_start;
$end    = $c_end;
$length = $end - $start + 1; // Calculate new content length
fseek($fp, $start);
header('HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content');
}
// Notify the client the byte range we'll be outputting
header("Content-Range: bytes $start-$end/$size");
header("Content-Length: $length");
 
// Start buffered download
$buffer = 1024 * 8;
while(!feof($fp) && ($p = ftell($fp)) <= $end) {
 
if ($p + $buffer > $end) {
 
// In case we're only outputtin a chunk, make sure we don't
// read past the length
$buffer = $end - $p + 1;
}
set_time_limit(0); // Reset time limit for big files
echo fread($fp, $buffer);
flush(); // Free up memory. Otherwise large files will trigger PHP's memory limit.
}
 
fclose($fp);
 
}
