Got PHP?
If so, here is a very basic example you could save as index.php in the
folder that contains the .flv files (beware of word wrap).
Oops. I just realized you asked for "list form", but I already did
this as a table. Oh well, it should help you get started.
<?php
echo "<html><head><title>File list</title></head><body>\n";
echo "<table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2><tr><th>Filename</th><th>Size</th><th> </th></tr>\n";
foreach (glob("*.flv") as $filename) {
$size = filesize($filename);
printf('<tr><td><a href="%s">%s</a></td><td>%2s</td>',$filename,$filename, $size);
printf('<td><a href="player.php?filename=%2s">View</a></td></tr>' ."\n",$filename, $filename);
}
echo "</table></body></html>";
?>
The above will allow you to click the filename to download the video
or use a View link to player.php. player.php is a page with your
Flash video player and $_GET['filename'] will contain the filename.
Assuming you're using one of the CS3 or CS4 FLVPlayers, you should be
able to replace all instances of:
&streamName=someVideoFilename>
with:
&streamName=<?php echo $filename;?>
You /might/ need to strip off the ".flv" from the filename in
player.php. If so, pathinfo() can provide the basename.
I leave security considerations and sanitization of user input
($_GET) to you.
