Hi,

You can use readdir() function for list the files. Here's a sample code from
PHP Doc www.php.net/docs.

if ($handle = opendir('/path/to/files')) {
echo "Handler: $handle\n";
echo "Files:\n";
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
echo "$file\n";
}

I don't know how that music player works, but since it uses XML for
playlists, I think you can use readdir() then pass the results to XML.

Subject: [PHP] Embedded player


Hi. I have been wanting to do something on my site for some time and was
recently told that it could be accomplished.



I started a daily devotion on our church website a few weeks ago, so I
changed all of my files to .php and began using a MySQL database.



I have a sermons page (www.mzbc.com/sermons.php) with a table with links to
..wma sermons. When clicked in Firefox, it prompts to download. What I want
is to be able to embed a player that will stay on that page and play all of
the files in the table.

I have found a player like this at http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/.
There is also a Windows Media style player that will do the same thing. The
problem is I either have to create each individual sermon with an embedded
player in a new page, or create a playlist. I will eventually have way to
many sermons to use a playlist. I am sure there must be some way to tell
each file in the table to open in that player, but I am not familiar yet
with programming yet. I have php for dummies which I started reading, but I
am not sure it will do what I want.



Thanks so much,



Jedidiah
