HTML5 Video Supporting Browsers – Beginners Guide – 015.

This tutorial is connected from the previous HTML5 tutorial, the “HTML5 Video Attributes“.

This tutorial will provide a flash fallback to your HTML5 Video and it is really nice and easy. We can call this Video for Everybody. We are going to access the site http://sandbox.thewikies.com/vfe-generator/.

This is a website where you can provide your video link from your file and paste it on their specific fields like MP4, WebM and Ogg. After you have placed your video link from file, you can also put a poster image as well as giving it a title.

You can also adjust your video’s resolution on this website and you can select the embed type for your HTML5 video. Here’s the interface of the website:

First, follow my example image for the adjustments of your HTML5 Video.

First, I pasted the source file of our MP4 and WebM video to its specified field. Notice that I left the Ogg Video field in blank because we do not have that type of video.

Next, we removed the poster image and change the fallback title of our HTML5 Video. Also, we adjusted our resolution and chose the default embed type HTML5+Flash.

After changing the properties, you can now copy the provided code at the bottom of the site and replace it on your recent video tag code. Take note that you don’t have to copy the bottom paragraph tag provided by the site.

[html5]

&lt;video controls="controls" width="500" height="500"&gt;&lt;video controls="controls" width="500" height="500"&gt; &lt;source src=video/IMG_0463.mov type=video/mp4 /&gt; &lt;source src=video/IMG_0463.webm type=video/webm /&gt; <a href="http://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.1.swf">http://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.1.swf</a> &lt;/video&gt;

[/html5]

Try to check your new video tag code if it works especially on different browsers. This Video for Everybody let’s your HTML5 video coding faster because you don’t have to type for the specifc attributes!

Here’s the result of my new modified video tag:

It is good and running smoothly!

Technology stack and requirements

To run this PHP project, you need these tools on your development machine:

• XAMPP or WAMP server. Bundles Apache, MySQL, and PHP so you can run PHP on Windows without individual installs. Free from apachefriends.org.
• PHP 8.0 or higher. Included with XAMPP. Older versions (5.x, 7.x) may work but modern PHP features improve security and performance.
• MySQL or MariaDB. Comes with XAMPP. phpMyAdmin manages the database through a browser UI.
• VS Code or PhpStorm. Free code editor with PHP syntax highlighting, IntelliSense, and debugging support.
• Web browser. Chrome, Firefox, or Edge for testing the running app.

Installing the source code

1. Download the archive. Get the ZIP file from the download link on this page and extract it.
2. Move to htdocs. Place the extracted folder inside C:\xampp\htdocs\ so Apache can serve it.
3. Import the database. Open http://localhost/phpmyadmin, click Import, and select the .sql file included in the archive.
4. Update database credentials. Open the config.php or connection.php file and set the correct database name, username, and password (default XAMPP: root / empty password).
5. Run the project. Start Apache + MySQL in XAMPP, then visit http://localhost/your-project-folder/ in a browser.

Using this project for your BSIT capstone

This PHP project maps cleanly to standard BSIT capstone documentation. Suggested chapter alignment:

• Chapter 1 (Introduction). Discuss the problem the system solves in real-world context. Cite Philippine business or academic use cases where a manual process could be replaced.
• Chapter 2 (Review of Related Literature). Compare this system’s features against 5-10 similar published projects. Cite journals like IJERT or IEEE Access for academic-standard sources.
• Chapter 3 (Methodology). Include Use Case Diagram, Data Flow Diagram, Entity Relationship Diagram, and Activity Diagram covering all major workflows.
• Chapter 4 (Results and Discussion). Screenshot each module of the running system with a caption explaining what data it processes and which user role interacts with it.
• Chapter 5 (Conclusion and Recommendations). Identify features that could be added in a Version 2, such as mobile app, REST API export, or AI-powered analytics.
