mp4 from PHP - Not playing in HTML5 Video tag

Question

I am using the video tag to play videos.

I using php files for the playback like this:

Answer 1

The above code is working. After i changed the src url for .php files, it did actually work. Now it plays in moz, ie, chrome with only php files as sources in the video tag.

Answer 2

You will have to echo the path after retrieving it and pass it to the 'src' attribute of the Video Tag of HTML5. Your Current Strategy won't work well, i hope...

For example,

<source src="<?php echo getMp4VideoUrl(); ?>" type='video/mp4'/>

Answer 3

The browser identifies the video content from the header sent to it with the request. Just manipulate the header and keep the PHP extension. It will work perfect
