You are pointing to the src attribute of the video tag to video.php This simply implies that either you have inserted wrong source or if there really is a video.php that actually is accessing the video for you, then there is a problem in the script. You should consider revising the question and adding the code for video.php if it is present.

You aren't formatting your video source correctly...

HTML

<video width="320" height="240" controls="">
    <source src="/test/a.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</source></video>

Or something like that. The src should point to the video file.
