If you want to "log" how many times/when the video files were viewed, you can send the request to a PHP script that does the logging first and then send an HTTP redirection to the actual video file (but actually users could bypass logging if they head directly for the video URL).. If you manipulate the video file on-the-fly, I think you might need to consider caching with the above solution .. /ahmed -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

TAANSTAAFL There certainly IS some overhead using PHP downloader script, and a straight link IS definitely more efficient. The correct question is "HOW MUCH more efficient" The correct answer is "You'll only know after you test on YOUR machine" Note that the bandwidth is probably gonna kill you long before PHP does, if you write a lean mean PHP application... If your PHP download script has to include 4,000 class files before it can do anything useful, well, no, it won't be fast. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
