The simple answer: NO
Reason: Security Reasons implemented by the web browser.

You need not know the file path where it gets stored in the client web browser.

Your response to 'you can't' is, 'please send me to code' ? Is someone paying you for your time right now ?

You seem to have a passion of asking the same question so many times in this forum. Appreciate your persistence and endurance but I don't think at least for the security of millions of people, web browser companies are going to relax the security model. Please read through http://www.codeproject.com/scrapbook/forumguidelines.asp[^] on effective querying in discussion forums.

Now coming to your specific query:

If you want to really go into 'Path Trapping', I would suggest an ActiveX Control to be written which can read the file from the server and save it to the client browser.

PHP VS ASP.NET for a youtube-like project

19-Nov-07 17:37

Can I have your bosses email address please ? I think he needs to know that your approach to solving a problem is to ignore the advice you've been given and just ask again, in the hope that someone will come along who can change reality for you.

You can't. You just can't. And even if you could, you could not interact with that path in any way. You could perhaps render it, but that's all. And, you can't.

Hi professionals,

First, I am sorry to repost my question but this time it has more accurate information to help getting the good answer.

I am planning to launch a website like youtube, but it is meant for different purpose, it will have very similar functionality to youtube, more precisely it will have:

1. Simple interface design, but professional design (I mean no graphical complications, yet great reachbility of video content).
2. Makes intensive use of AJAX to update the user-interface.
3. Needs to be able to handle thousands of users surfing the site at the same time.
4. Needs to manipulate large amounts of data in different databases efficiently.
5. Needs to embed media controls like flash video, real player, windows media player in web-pages.
6. Functionality includes user profiles, e-mailing, video rating, video commenting and everything youtube has.

I don't know what technology I should use in building this project, is it ASP .NET or PHP? I know little about ASP .NET and I know nothing about PHP.

For now let us make the following assumptions:
1. Regarding video content management, let us assume that the problem of load-balancing and all problems regarding video managemnt (upload, download, etc) are already solved by a professional company.

2. Let us assume that my goal is to implement user profiles, rating, commenting, signing up, etc. also I want to make my site able to handle thousands of users simaltanously sending msgs to each other, logging in and out, rating, commenting, etc.

I need to use a tool that is very productive, relatively easier and reliable to build a world-class project, I need it to be able to handle millions of database records and thousands of users surfing the website simaltanously.

I know that this is a ASP.NET forum so it is likely to see more people recommending ASP .NET, but I need you to be fair, so I need justifications ,please.

Any help professionals?

Thanks in advance.

What about Java? now, you are trying to create the website like YouTube. good. If you wanna create the Search engine like Google one day, Java might be useful.. Smile | :)

Mohammad A Gdeisat wrote:

It's depend on your expertise. (There are a lot of "world-class" projects which are written in PHP, ASP.NET and Java.)

but one thing for sure is that little knowledge about ASP.NET and nothing about PHP can't help you to build the "world-class" projects .. no matter which tool you are using.. So, The best advice would be "learn more about ASP.NET or PHP or Java".

Thats exactly what I want to do -
1st let experts help me find the better langauge for this application - find the right thing to learn

second learn the better technology or give the project to an expert.

what I need to know is what is more useful in this specific application, PHP or ASP.NET or any other?

I don't want to learn one language and then find that another language can assist me better building this website, sure, I don't want to build a "world-class" project with little knowledge, thats impossible Wink | ;)

Thanks

Final Answer : ASP.NET 2.0

Christian Graus19-Nov-07 16:49

19-Nov-07 16:49

I can only reiterate that if you know little about ASP.NET and nothing about PHP, the answer is that you may as well use Logo, no way are you going to be able to do this.

If this is a business idea, consider hiring someone to impliment it. If it's a rentacoder job gone bad, cut and run. That's really where it's at. As I said before, PHP and ASP.NET are both equally capable of doing this. Your player will end up being some sort of embedded app, so probably Java, and the rest is just a bit of HTML which is not going to be hard. But, it still sounds like you're biting off far more than you can chew, to be repeatedly asking this question.

Mohammad A Gdeisat19-Nov-07 17:03

19-Nov-07 17:03

Thanks,

I am just searching for the right thing to learn, ofcourse, either I will hire somebody or I will spend a few months studying the better language.

I am a very good C,C++,VC++,C# programmer and I have very good experience (7-years) in programming but my problem is that I didn't dig much into web development

I don't think it will be very hard to learn ASP .NET or PHP, also I will be sharing the project with two other developers who will also help me implementing the project.

The problem is that we want to find out what tool is better in this specific application, thats all, after experts help us choosing the correct langauge we will spend some time learning it, then we will begin the implementation.

Up to now, no one gave me a final answer, so I assume that they are equally capable of doing this project in terms of productivity, effeciency, support for AJAX, etc. am I right?

Thanks

This is insane. You can't learn any platform and expect your first app to be of a high quality.

Mohammad A Gdeisat wrote:

Yes

Mohammad A Gdeisat wrote:
productivity, effeciency

I suspect the ASP.NET tools are better, and I like the platform better. I'd go ASP.NET unless there was a compelling reason to do PHP

Mohammad A Gdeisat wrote:
support for AJAX

The thing that supports AJAX is your browser. Again, you're hoping to learn several platforms in a short space of time and then turn out a world class app in them. AJAX is just javascript in the browser, so it's the browser that supports it. Having said that, ASP.NET has a library of AJAX controls that you may find useful, although I don't think they scale very well.

Every question you ask will raise 20 more, because you don't have a baseline knowledge to work from. Really, that being the case, I think the real think you need to do is accept if you have a chance in hell of achieving this, it's because you will stand on the shoulders of communities who will be willing to support you, answer your questions, and fix your mistakes. You're in a vibrant ASP.NET community asking this, did you find any PHP forums you think would be as busy and as helpful ? ( It's possible, the question is a real one, I am saying, that's really the main thing you need to be looking for )

Thanks for the answer,

Really you are right, I just need basic knowledge if I need to hire experts to do the project, anyway, the project is not that big as you imagine, maybe I made it look as huge as youtube, well it is not.

and Thank you again.

Since you don't know much about either of the technology or the depth of them, but you have a great vision for a world class high capital application, I would suggest you can have the work outsourced to some one with the required expertise and get it achieved.

Check out eLance or a similar work related website and post the requirement.

Ya sure it is a joke.

1st. I have no problem in hiring expert people to do the project.

2nd. You assume that I am making the site that will throw youtube to trash, what I am doing is totally different and I was vague just because I don't want to bug you with the details of the idea.

3rd. Be sure that the project I am aiming to do is of medium size, of course not in the size of youtube nor it will ever be.

4th. The problem with people here is that the argue how such a begginer will do such a whole giant project and then they forget to answer anything about the question.. this is the real joke.
