[Wantabe]

I’ve written another thread sort of like this one; But I’m wondering that when you have a MySQL database for multiple wmv files; that on an average are about 40 MB each and their are about 20 or more on the site now; Is it usually custom to actually have the videos stored on the server and the video file names in the database to display them on the site? And if so; what code or code combination would be needed to upload them from an FTP program (backend) to the server and then have them appear on a certain web-site page on an alternating table witout writing anymore code for each one uploaded or added to the site? And if this is a more logical way to do it; what code would fetch the file when the front-end users click to play it? It seems to me that there must be code that would connect the file name from the database and fetch the video file from the server and play it. Am I making sense? I am new at MySQL and know very little about how to use it! Also if I were to connect to the site through an FTP program and delete a video file; would there also be a certain prefered code for that? This is the site www.viewtheword.org It’s the site that belongs to the church I attend and I’m trying to understand how to work on it and how it works and maybe some code examples? I’m sorry for all the digressing! I’m terribly in need of some information! I would really appreciate any help you could give me!!!
