    <p>I am trying to use JWPlayer to play videos on my website. But I cannot get the video served from php dynamically as I'm getting the following error:</p> <pre>Error loading media: File could not be played</pre> <p>My current code is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php include('connection.php');//connect to db $id = $_GET['id'];//get video id from param $video = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM video_table WHERE id = '$id'");//video row from db $data = mysql_fetch_assoc($video); $ext = pathinfo($data['video_name'], PATHINFO_EXTENSION); $file_name = $id . "." . $ext; echo $file_name; ?&gt; &lt;div id="container1"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; jwplayer('container1').setup({ 'id': 'container1', 'type': '&lt;?php echo $ext ?&gt;', 'wmode': 'transparent', 'flashplayer': 'jwplayer/jwplayer.flash.swf', 'file': 'video.php', 'provider': 'video', 'width': '480', 'height': '320', }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>video.php</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;?php include('connection.php'); $id = $_GET['id']; $video = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM video_table WHERE id = '$id'"); $data = mysql_fetch_assoc($video); $ext = pathinfo($data['video_name'], PATHINFO_EXTENSION); $type = pathinfo($data['type'], PATHINFO_EXTENSION); $file_name = $id . "." . $ext;//set the file name as saved in upload directory e.g: 1.mp4 header("pragma : no-cache"); header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); header("Content-Description: File Transfer"); header("Content-Type: $type"); header("Content-Location: upload/$file_name"); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); header("Content-Length: ".filesize("upload/$file_name")); readfile("upload/$file_name"); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>However, if I changed the absolute name here <code>(upload/1.mp4) instead of (upload/$file_name)</code> it works and video is provided. How can I get the video dynamically from parameter?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
