Hi,
As I learn about PHP I encounter a problem. I have a test server on my laptop and am serving flv Flash files. On my localhost laptop it's all OK. I serve a local flv file and watch the video. So I figure I'd go on a desktop in my local home network, dial in the ip of my laptop, and watch a video from the desktop. Everything works OK except this, (note: $vrelpath is the path to an flv file on my laptop), so:
Given the code:
echo "vrelpath: ". $vrelpath;
$vv = 'ttttt';
echo '<br>'.$vv;
and I see on the local laptop web page:
vrelpath: ./uploaded_vids/File28_final.flv
ttttt
But it renders on the "remote" desktop as:
vrelpath:
ttttt
The $vrelpath string is not getting to the desktop, but another string $vv is getting to it. So what's going on here?
BTW, If I hard code a link on my laptop with something like this and serve it to the desktop it works OK:
<a href="./flowplayer/example/Food/tofu_video_preview.flv" style="display:block;width:520px;height:330px" id="player"> </a>
and the desktop user will get a nice flash video w/control bars...
There's something about that $vrelpath when it holds that path string(?) Note: if a stick 'zzzz' into $vrelpath it renders on the desktop OK.
What is the issue? Thanks appreciate the help.
