solved it: it works ;) getVideo.php $id = $_GET['id']; $path_file = "/data/$id.flv"; header("Content-type: video/flv"); readfile($path_file); exit; and in the index.php where i want to play the video, the problem had with the config of the player, in my case flow player. For can read a file .php as source of video it must be call: <div class="PlayArea"> <a style="display:block;width:520px;height:330px" id="player"> </a> <script type="text/javascript"> flowplayer("player", 'thirdparty/flowplayer/flowplayer-3.2.7.swf', { playlist: [ { url: 'controllers/getVideo.php?id=<?php echo $id; ?>', scaling: 'fit' }, { url: 'controllers/getVideoController.php?id=<?php echo $id; ?>', autoPlay: false, scaling: 'fit' } ] }); </script> thanks :) On Fri, Oct 14, 2011 at 11:50 AM, Ricardo Martinez <hariseldom@xxxxxxxxx>wrote: > Mmm i'm trying to show a .flv but i dont know if i'm using the correct > headers and method. > > $name = $file; > $fp = fopen($name, 'rb'); > > // send the right headers > header("Content-Type: video/x-flv"); > header("Content-Length: " . filesize($name)); > > // dump the picture and stop the script > fpassthru($fp); > exit; > > i'm getting all time the player black. > > all idea are welcome!!! :) > > thx!!! > > On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 12:46 PM, Ricardo Martinez <hariseldom@xxxxxxxxx>wrote: > >> It works thx a lot =) >> >> >> >> On Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 5:26 PM, Bastien Koert <phpster@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >>> On Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 11:00 AM, Ricardo Martinez <hariseldom@xxxxxxxxx> >>> wrote: >>> > Hi! >>> > >>> > i'm was checking, readfile(); and fpassthru(); >>> > >>> > With easy examples, i can use it for show a pic in the screen and >>> download a >>> > file, from outside of documentRoot.
