PHP doesn't stream the data, Adobe's server does. PHP doesn't care about Flash's streaming either.

And why are you using RED5 and Adobe Flash Media Server 2? Don't they both stream Flash video? All you need is one of them and a FLV player.

Tell your FLV player to load file xyz from the server via the page's HTML, Javascript, pies falling from the heavens...

I think you need to read up on what available documentation is here: http://osflash.org/tutorials

It would be great to hear your thoughts after using both. I am sure many members would be interested -- including me.

You just need to specify the protocol (HTTP, RTMP) and probably a port in the URL. There should be examples with the servers. If you are streaming a SWF file then you just need to embed it in a HTML page. For FLV you need to embed a player.
