Well, if it wasn't spamming, then I apologise, but you have to admit
that a post with zero information in an unrelated newsgroup and a URL to
a website, looks a lot like a ruse just to draw people to that website.
It wouldn't be the first time... ;)

Well, you didn't say that originally - and it still has no bearing on
the problem, as all PHP is doing is generating some HTML. The problem is
either with the HTML itself, or with the video file, or the way that
your server is serving up the video file, none of which is related to PHP.

You'd be far better asking this sort of question in alt.html or similar,
preferably with a URL to the page in question, so people have some
chance of figuring out what might be wrong.
