This is very simple case I guess but I just need some help. I have an application buill on php. The idea to store videos/images as in compress/non-compressed form and users can access it. The player I am using now , cannot play .VOB files . So to overcome this hurdle, I want to trigger a function like whenever a user try to access .VOB file, when he/she click to play, I need an external video player comes up. How can I do this? I can thin about coding conditions to check for .VOB file but what about calling external video player?
Any help would be appreciated..
thanx.

Re: Calling external Video Player from Browser using php.
Just use PHP to generate the HTML containing the link to the external video player. Is the external video player an external program associated with certain file types or a player embedded into the web page?

external program.. I wanted to embed actually. but due to very little time, I have to finish my project, I made an adjustment, I put a condition that checking for extension of vidoe file. If file is not flv or mp4, it will href to the file , then browser trigger either external video player or download option.
I think its safe now. But if I can embed an external player in the HTML, it would be better. I think I can use VLC, is it possible?
