Hello everyone,

I will have 300+ Google videos on my website soon and would like to know if i can some how be able to edit the main google video code from just like file that will change everyone of my videos.

I understand the scr will be different for each video. I would love to some how make it so i can include the google code.

Is there anyway i can do this? The only way i have come up with would be to have 1 include called googlecode.php

<embed id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" style="width: 500px; height: 350px;"

Thats what i would put in the include since its the same for every video, this would also give me the ability to change the size of the videos with minimal effort.

Then i will have the scr after it:

Would this work at all? so i could do this on each video page:

<?php include("includes/googlecode.php"); ?>src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-7993839789357636455&hl=en&fs=true&autoplay=1"/>

Is there a better way of doing this? sorry for my lack of knowledge im pretty new at PHP.

That is one way, but a better method is to include a function, for example

PHP Code:

function google_video($id){ // this returns the google player video code.
return '<embed id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" style="width: 500px; height: 350px;" 
src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId='.$id.'&hl=en&fs=true&autoplay=1" />';
}
echo google_video('-7993839789357636455'); 


Thanks for your reply, im really new to PHP and wouldn't know where to start with adding it to my pages. Looks like i need to learn more PHP
