Hiya-
You might go to the source of php and point your browser
to:
I might suggest for your "schema" for the database that you
have links to the video files for the data fields rather
than trying to stuff video clips directly into the data
base. I hope that this is rather evident, but you never
know......
PHP can easily handle the file manipulation of adding,
deleteing the files. The database could/should include
the filename in question (either full path or relative)
as a string entry in the schema.
My experience with PHP and a data base is primarily with
postgres rather than mysql, however, I found that either
of the PHP-->database APIs rather straightforward and
the PHP documentation (also on the php.net) site included
enough information to get going with.
Hope that this helps.
Cheers,
Rich S.
