PHP and Flash movies

[LL2000]

Hello!

I'd like to allow users to upload Flash movies to my website and have
them displayed in a page.

There are certain things that I either need in order to display them
correctly, such as the version of Flash, the width/height of the movie, etc.

Does anyone know if there is any existing code available to do this?
Ideally, I would like to not ask for -anything- from the user, except
for the actual Flash movie.

Thanks for your help!

Here's something I wrote. Not terribly efficient or well written but works.

function ExtractSWFInfo( $path) {
// read the data
$data = file_get_conten ts($path);

// signature
$sign = substr($data, 0, 3);
if($sign == 'CWS' || $sign == 'FWS') {

$compressed = ($sign{0} == 'C');
$version = ord($data{3});

// file length
extract(unpack( 'Vlength', substr($data, 4, 4)));

$data = substr($data, 8);
if($compressed) {
$data = gzuncompress($d ata);
}

// frame coordinates, first 5 bit is the number of bit per coord
$b = ord($data{0});
$nb = $b >> 3;
$bin = decbin($b & 0x07);
$bits = substr('000', 0, - strlen($bin)); // 0-padded
$bits .= $bin;

// read the bits
$index = 1;
for($bits_requi red = $nb * 4; $bits_required > 0; $bits_required -= 8) {
$bin = decbin(ord($dat a{$index++}));
$bits .= substr('0000000 0', 0, - strlen($bin));
$bits .= $bin;
}

// cut bitstring into four parts
$coord_bits = array();
for($i = 0, $j = 0; $i < 4; $i++, $j += $nb) {
$coord_bits[$i] = substr($bits, $j, $nb);
}

// convert from bin to integer
$coord = array();
for($i = 0; $i < 4; $i++) {
$num = bindec(substr($ coord_bits[$i], 1));
if(substr($coor d_bits[$i], 0, 1) == '1') {
$num = -$num;
}
$coord[$i] = $num;
}

// get the dimension in pixels
$width = round($coord[1] / 20);
$height = round($coord[3] / 20);

// frame rate and count
extract(unpack( 'Cframerate_dec im/Cframerate/vframecount', substr($data,
$index, 4)));

return compact('compre ssed', 'length', 'version', 'width', 'height',
'framerate', 'framecount');
}
return false;
}

$file = "C:/Documents and Settings/cleong/Desktop/cow_test.swf";

var_dump(Extrac tSWFInfo($file) );

Thank you very much. That's perfect. You've saved me hours of work and
restored my belief in newsgroups :)
