You could store your video base URL as a setting (which should be the URL relative to the folder where the videos are located), and in MySQL only save the video name.

In this way, you always have it available dynamically. For instance, your website address may be http://localhost/yourproject, with the video base url http://localhost/yourproject/videos, assuming (that's where you save all the videos), and then only append the video name to get a full link.

I hope I'm making myself clear.

Hoho, if what you need is code, then I'm afraid you won't get any. CodeProject policy, which I fully support, is not to provide ANY code unless we see your own, and the problem you encounter and need help with is relatively small. We don't do your work for you

dear andrei
I know the codeproject policy too.
I provide you the code
just want to change the code
replace the aa.flv to php/mysqlcode code

Assuming you have the name of the video available in your PHP script already, replace your aa.flv with <?php echo $name_of_your_video_url ?>
