video hosting for beginners?
Posted February 10th, 2010
my dads friend wants to create a website to which he can upload daily videos of his lectures/speeches.
i have created him an unlimited hosting website and all the pages.
all i want next is a setup through which he can upload 1 hour long videos to this website everyday.
my choices are as follows:
1. create a blog
2. html pages
both of the above require coding on his part as video needs to be embedded.
is there an alternative?
he is a complete beginner to website developing and everything!
File upload (that’s HTML and PHP). Make it so he has to log in (with a password) to get to the upload page. Upload the file and save the name (or date or whatever he wants to call it) in a database. Create the user pages based on the database. When a user chooses a lecture, pull the filename from the database and stream it. (The usual precautions – SQL injection check, sanityy check, each page but the login page to check a session variable that the login page sets to make the session “logged in”, etc.)
