Webcams and php
Hi,

I was thinking of setting up a webcam for my site. As I am using PHP for most things, I was wondering if anyone know how to do this in PHP. Is it possible? How anyone done it?

Thanks,

jimbo

RE: Webcams and php
Well, I've never setup a webcam before and know very little about how to do it.

So I think I am asking, what do I need to make a webcam work? and I guess from your reply it has very little to do with php...

If you just want to run it you dont need to use php however if u want to include it in a webpage you will need to use php or some other scripting language i think. I myself have never used a webcam before.

RE: Webcams and php
if you want to stream the cam you'll need some type of software and a dedicated IP i'm pretty sure.. otherwise you just use your cam software to ftp an image to your server every so often, then make the page refresh with html..

How annoying that the post got moved!

Does anyone have any idea what software is best for ftp uploading webcam images to a website?

I have tried a few free ones and their don't seem to work particulaly well.
