Hi Everyone,

Code:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iFMiT4hJ17I"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iFMiT4hJ17I" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

For YT videos, change iFMiT4hJ17I to your own video ID. Instructions are on the site though...

Thanks for quick reply. I have tried this code before but it doesn't work. Here is the user input page code:

Code:

<tr> 
      <td align=right><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> 
        Post a Video:</font></td>
      <td><input type="text" name="title2" size="30" style="width:98%"></td>
    <tr> 
      <td align=right valign=top>URL:</td>
      <td><input type="text" name="url2" size="40" style="width:98%" value="" /></td>
    </tr>

Here is my php view page:

Code:

//get the item details
$t1 = "select * from dd_items where ItemID = '$_GET[ID]' ";
$s1 = mysql_query($t1) or die(mysql_error());
$m1 = mysql_fetch_array($s1);

//URL is the name of my database column for the link which user have inputed in previous page
$videourl = $m1['URL'];

Here is my html page:

Code:

<tr>
	<td align="center"><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="<?=$videourl?>"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="<?=$videourl?>" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></td>
</tr>

When I view the html page, i see nothing (blank page); but when I view the source of html page i see the link which users input has been replace with php code "<?=videourl?>". Do you know what happens ?
