I have created a php file upload so users at my site can upload files and i have also creaated a php script so users can log in and make accounts, I want my users to be able to log in and be able to see the previous videos they uploaded and who uploaded other videos, here is my php upload script,

<?php
$allowedExts = array("mp4", "mov", "avi", "flv","mpg", "wmv", "3gp", "rm");
$extension = end(explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]));
if (($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 2000000000000)
&& in_array($extension, $allowedExts))
  {
  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
    {
    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
    }
  else
    {
    echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
    echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
    echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
    echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";

    if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
      {
      echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
      }
    else
      {
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
      }
    }
  }
else
  {
  echo "Invalid file";
  }
?>

Hi,
How about saving the video paths to a database together with the user id.
To get the previous videos of a user, you fetch all videos of the specific user id.
And to prevent videos from having the same file names, you could save them like [upload timestamp].[ext]

I hope i could help
