streaming using php

Post by jbkielis »

Hey everyone. Thanks in advance for any help.

I am trying to figure out a solution to setup a streaming web cam.

For example, I would like to stream a web cam feed from my computer (through a web app) to a server which then can stream that feed to a few other connected clients. Is this possible to do? I am quite familiar with php, sockets, etc, but I am just not really unsure how something like this would be implemented. I know flash also allows a rather easy streaming setup.

Any ideas or references to check out would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jonathan

I've never seen it done with PHP... PHP is more of a pre-processed language (i.e. it's proccessed and then the results sent).

There's macromedia packages (Breeze) and Java applets/servlets that can handle this though ;)
