webinar automation script needed

by kenetra

I'm looking for a script that will allow a video to play at a designated time (i.e. like a live webinar.

I can't remember but some time ago there was such a script circling the internet.

Any suggestions would be great. Also will entertain hiring a programmer.

Thanks

    This may be overly simplistic for what you want, but it does fit the bill to "allow a video to play at a designated time".

    It simply checks the time, and if it's after the "unlock" time, the video would load on the page.

    PHP Code:
    <?php
    if (time()>strtotime('09 May 2010 08:00 EST')){
       echo     '{ put your video display code in here }';
    } else {
       echo     'Video coming soon';
    }

        You would place this code right into the content of your page wherever you want the video to show up.

        Here it is again with a little more explanation...

        PHP Code:
        <p>This is regular HTML on the page, and check back on May 9th for a video to appear right here!</p>

        <?php
        // change the date below to choose when the code is displayed
        if (time()>strtotime('09 May 2010 08:00 EST')){
           echo         '{ put your video display code in here in HTML format, such as the YouTube Embed code }';
        } else {         // this will show if it's before that date
                   echo '<p>Video coming soon</p>';
        }
        ?>

        <p>And back to regular HTML</p>
        Of course, this is a PHP solution, so it will only work if placed into a .php file on your website.

          Ryan thanks so much again. Off to test again I go. I sent you a tweet also

          a bit later.....

          Hey there Ryan put it all up, everything shows perfect before the designated time to launch the video however after the timeframe runs way past the video still will not pull up.

          Do you think there may be an issue as far as the date/time combo?

          a bit more later....

          GOT IT WORKING RYAN...YOU ROCK...pls let me know how I may help you.
