Video files with PHP

Post by sarangi »

I need to create a page that plays a video file and redirects to a survey page, after the video is finished. The user should not be able to access survey page without finishing the video.

I have no idea about video files with php. Where and how should I get started for this?? Any help is highly appreciated.

Because you want to know when the video is done, you should look into streaming. There are some PHP video streaming scripts around, mainly for flash video, that you might be able to use. Or use a streaming server like Real's.
