dl('C:\Sites\Single16\groundbrandon\webroot\bboysspace\php_ming.dll');

$myMovie = new SWFMovie();
$myMovie->setDimension(400, 300);
$myMovie->setRate(30);
$myMovie->setBackground(0, 0, 0);

// Now output the movie
header("Content-type:application/x-shockwave-flash");
$myMovie->output();
?>

how do I access it without using a absoute path? It's rented webspace

Answer 1

You can find about the absolute path by using the global $_SERVER.

example: if your local path is /my/movie.swf
then $absolute_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/my/movie.swf';

will give you the absolute path.

Answer 2

Check extensions_dir parameter of your PHP.ini file. If it is pointed to direcotry, check that directory has that required dll file.
If there is no file, then you will have to get that file and paste in the folder where all your php extensions reside.

Answer 3

You said it's on rented webspace. With whom? A webhost?

Answer 4

dl('C:\Sites\Single16\groundbr... --> don't use an absolute path...
why? because the module will be load at this path..
C:\PHP\Extensions\C:\Sites\Sites\Single16\groundbr...
and there's no path like that on C:\PHP\....

hope this help you...
