php webcam broadcasting script

Post by k4tm4nn »

im wanting to develope a php webcam broadcasting script where no one has to download any software, and be able to view other peoples cams online,,, more like an add in script.

this script has to be able to have an admin page for each user, to configure their cam, (via webpage).

multiple users is a must,,,

but people will be able to login,,, start their cam, be able to configure their cam.

im working on a script for an adult site with live webcam chat where the girls can sign up and get paid for their services... but i have no idea the first steps to take to do this in php...

i have part of the script done,,,

but, have no idea how i can start a webcam, no matter what company made it, logitech, ibm, hewlett packard,, as long as the php script can identify it and wheather it is a usb connection or not...

i want the girls to be able to not downlaod any software, even the free webcam broadcasting programs,, so they can work straight from home..

any ideas how to make this work? or at least get it started?
i have a flash program writen in flash 6, but i only have flash 5, but i still dont know flash as well as i know php,,, which isnt much....
and it will let a person with a webcam be able to view their own webcam,,, and show it to others,,but their is no control over it,,,and it still has some bugs... with php, id be able to work out the bugs,,,

just has to be the basic, start webcam,,,and broadcast that image to a webpage,,,with a small admin on webcam configuration,,,nothing else, no text, no nothing,,,

has this been done? or how would i be able to make one myself,,, how do i get any webcam to start by the click of a button, open the config for the webcam, and be able to add it to any code.... (mysql is ok too,,but prefer strictly php)

*sigh*

There is a reason PHP is called a server side scripting language. Think on that for a moment.

Unlike Java once the PHP page has been loaded and printed out by the browser there are no possible way for you to update the page unless you refresh the page.

PHP Cannot take pictures from other's computers. I have seen people who have programs written in C++ that will snap a camera FROM THE SERVER

you would either have to: make everybody download a program that you wrote, or give up.

Dear friend, I know that you can do such a think, using Java. Also given that Broadband has evolved so much recently, you can consider a real stream of Video!!!!!!!!!

Anyway

Good luck with you "Girls" site, and do not overdo it!!!!!!

Some people don't even have ISDN connection, it's too early to use Videos! Use Java to do chat...

P.S. I have 56k connection

I disagree with you even if I am also a 56k user.

What about those who own broadband then? They are the best customers because they tend to be wealthier than 56K modem users, more "Computer" aware, and they would prefer a real stream of video rather than Java stuff.

The main problem here is BANDWIDTH.

Live stream of video will <span style='color:blue' title='I&#39;m naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> your allowed bandwidth in an hour!!!!! It is thus more expensive

ANyway I liked your statement

"Nothing great has ever been accomplished without passion."

HAHAHAHAHAHA!! COOL!!!!!
