Hey guys.

I want to make a page which will have a windows media player embedded into it… Now… I want to be able to play more than 1 vid…but I don’t want to have to make a duplicate page for each vid…

So what I’m looking to do is have a system sorta like this:

[http://mydomain.com/vid.php?id=vid1.wmv](http://mydomain.com/vid.php?id=vid1.wmv)

the the domain will tell the player to play vid1.wmv

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks so much in advance!
