thanks for that!!

I was able to figure out that I am running PHP 5.2.2 so it looks like that will work, and will be a very handy tool.

Quick question.... for the page where I will display all this. As mentioned, I want to have a "video area" at the top of the page, like an imageplaceholder. Then underneath that I will have a table which will auto-populate the titles of the videos from the database.
Each link will than link to the video corresponding to the title (info gained from the database). When you click on the link it will than play that video in the video section.

how do I do this?
Cause I'm lost on how to get it all to link together, list all the videos and have it so they link and play the video on the top.
