AutoEmbed Script

Back from whence you came...

This auto-embed script is a new feature I'm trying out.
Player.php is an auto player embed script. Similar to embed.php in other packages, this script is specifically for the JW player included in the XSPFPHP package. The intent is to reference a copy of player.php in a web page somewhere in cyberspace, then alter it's contents and appearance without having to edit the page itself. Rather you edit the player.ini file containing all player variables & embed options. The player below is generated this way. Upcoming version may include autogeneration of a player.xml file to go along with the script.
Currently only the barest of embed variables are available but the script will generate a complete standalone html web page complete with http1.0 transitioanl DTD, head, body, embed, footer and closing tags.

Player Features:

Title can be set via ini file.
Header, body and footer tags and content can be easily added or removed.
Player size, skin and key flash variables can be easily changed via player.ini
SWF object embed is used in this example. Script will also generate an obj or embed block.
See player.php for raw output
See current player.ini as text
See sample2.html for another embedding example
Real world wordpress examples: Embedded JW, Embedded Transparent player

This script can also be used to generate the embed code for placement on any html web page. Simply edit player.ini until the player looks correct, then use your browser "View -> source" command to copy and paste the code for embedding. All code is fully qualified so it will work anywhere on the web it's allowed. Note that myspace will not allow SWF embedding. You can either use emb or obj, disable html header, body and footer tags and copy / paste the embed code to your myspace page.

The sampe below uses a simple iframe to run player.php and embed the player in an html page. The code I used to embed this player is:

<div align="center"> <iframeframeborder="1" width="620" height="320" src="/xspf/music/player.php"></iframe></div>
