I'm a PHP illiterate.

Hello all! I am very inexperienced with PHP at the moment and I am still trying to learn it through the help of the great people of the web.
I have an online video streaming website and I'm looking to do the following: "You are currently watching ____ from the series: _____" to be put under each episode.
Whereas the first blank would be to get the current URL (which I already did through the helpful tutorials on the web)
While the second blank would be the series page (the page where I index the episodes)
So how do I go about to get the series page URL?
Many thanks in advance to anyone who read this!

 

every video on your website must have an index in your database. are you using database? or is your site static?

 

you need to give more information about your website to get your query solve .

 

Thank you both for replying! and yes I do indeed have a database and as such, my site is not static. If I need to give out any more information then please do ask.
I don't know much about PHP but if my query would require effort and time on your guys ends, then I am certainly willing to pay a small commission for it.

 

can you provide me more about how the data store in your database?

 

Hello Ivan!
I use Wordpress as my CMS for the site's design and database, I post new episodes through Wordpress "add new post" option and create the episodes series index by creating a series page for it, and they are all automatically stored in the Wordpress database. (or this is what I assume)
Is this what you were looking for as an answer?

 

I'd imagine since you're using wordpress, you can just echo out the category or post/page name (depending on what you consider the "series page" to be).

 

Alright this is great! so can you teach me how to do this? and if you don't have time, then can you give me a tutorial or a reference to use to do this?

 

@fize4ever
do you use any plugin for your series page?

 

I'm afraid not, I create them and index the episodes of the series manually.

 

How do you manage your episode manually?
Do you use tag, categories or just make it in title?

 

I create the episodes through the "add new post" option in Wordpress then I create the series page through the "add new page" option in Wordpress and then I write the episodes numbers like: "series name episode XX" whereas the series name would be replaced by the actual series name and XX will be replaced by numbers. Then I link the URL of the created post that I have created through the post function.
I am simply looking for a way through PHP to grab me the series pages URL so the visitors can use as a reference for episodes.
Again though, I will of course pay to know this if needed. (I am really desperate in getting this to work)

 

i can do this with simple plugin.
PM me your skype id.
