Title: HTML Command?
Post by: Alex_Computer on February 13, 2008, 09:28:03 PM

O.K., I'm trying to use the meta tag to forward to a video file, open it and start playing, but I'm having trouble. You know in a href tags there is the type="video/x-ms-wmv"? What can a substitute to use in the <meta> tag?

P.S., It's required. Otherwise the computer opens a text file.

Code: [Select]

<?
include("../rdcounter/includes/config.php");
$url = $_GET['url'];
if($url){
  $link = mysql_escape_string($url);

if (file_exists($link)) {
$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".TBL_DL." where name = '$link'");
$exists = mysql_num_rows($check);
if($exists == 1){
$update = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".TBL_DL." where name = '$link'");
while($myrow = mysql_fetch_assoc($update)){
  $downloads = $myrow[downloads];


}
 $total = $downloads + 1; 
$update = mysql_query("UPDATE ".TBL_DL." SET downloads = $total where name = '$link'"); 
echo('<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL='.$link.'">');
  }else{
$add = mysql_query("INSERT INTO ".TBL_DL." VALUES ('','$link', '1')");   
echo('<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL='.$link.'">');
}                       
} else {
    echo "error: '$link' not found";
}
  }else{
    echo("No url specified");
}
?>

Ant meta tag are only for listing contents of your website so the search engine can find your site.
