Re: Playing mp3s using flash and php

Hi! I am currently working on a shop system, which works with flashmx and php and uses a mysql-database to read the path of the protected mp3s and so the mp3s are passed to the flashmovie through php using the file-functions. The shop also reads out the directories and parses the xml-output of the php-file so that one can choose the files in the flash-movie. I think with a little work and user-distinguishing it would be possible to create private playlists. You can see the shop on http://www.help-music.at/cms_global.php?id=18 (but its not finished yet...)
