PHP Website Possibility with Dynamic Video?
Posted: Wed Feb 13, 2008 2:17 pm
Hi there, this is my first message so a little bit about me. I'm a financial analyst, I'm not a professional programmer but what I do is use different types of financial software to build databases for fellow employees that are located in remote sites. During this process I have gathered around 800 short video clips describing these databases. Each time I create a database I add a folder with screen capture clips describing the database so I do not need to fly to these locations and demonstrate it in front of them.
My question is that I want to create a website that shows these video tutorials. I was wondering what is the cheapest method to do this and is there any books or great tutorial sites on how to manage videos on the webpage.
Also, I was wondering if PHP could be used with a MySql database that stores these videos with tags. So if someone searches for a certain type of video, the PHP code would show all videos that matched that description.
I realize this will be a long process, so I'm willing to take any advice on where to start to possibly understand how to do this myself. I understand enough of PHP to talk with MySql and get information out of it... but I do not after hours of searching know how to possibly add 1000 videos to a website that doesn't take up too much space and cost $1000 a month.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
