See that URL for an explanation and files that allow you to "stream" FLV.

It would be better to use the Red5 server which is an open source Flash streaming server (Java). That way you don't overload Apache when you stream media. Apache is mainly built for delivering HTTP Responses as fast as possible, not stream media - especially with the prefork model.

Running PHP as a CGI script should be a better option then through Apache also.

The ease of use of using PHP is great though. :)
