Web Slide Shows with PHP and SMIL

By Mike Pastore | | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
You can use Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL), which gives you control over multimedia and text elements in a browser over time, to create a slideshow on your Web site. Add some PHP, and now it's dynamic and you get server-side support.

Octavia Andreea Anghel explores the use of PHP and SMIL in an article on DevX.com. By the end of the article, it shows how to write an HTML/PHP application that generates a custom SMIL presentation.

The basic idea is to let users select some of the SMIL customizable aspects (images or audio files, transition times, and durations) from an HTML form, and then use PHP to capture the user input and generate the corresponding SMIL document.
Internet Explorer versions 5.5 and higher can play SMIL presentations natively.
