Video streams of what? Webcams? Youtube videos?
Youtube is not real time video streaming but rather playback of pre-recorded videos. ;)
Where are the video streams coming from? What are you going to use to display/play the streams?
We can't help you with your project unless you tell us the source of your video streams.
As RobDog said, real time is live video, are you sure that is what you are looking for? Or is it prerecorded material?
The source of the stream will be a webcam

- How is the video feed being uploaded?
- What Internet protocol does it use?
- What are the security limitations of the feed?
- Have you even got the webcam setup to upload to the Internet?
PHP can't produce a live webcam feed on a page. It is the HTML control that does that, such as a windows media player control, or a shockwave flash object.

these are exactly the questions I'm trying to get answer to...Quote:

What webcam are you going to use?
Could you give me a list of what I would be needing besides the webcam? I'm using WAMP Server 2.0, can it support my desired website?
