    I have phpchatnvid working just great, but I would like to use Webcam32 rather than WebcamXP, and have the webcam viewer come from the server hosting phpchatnvid rather than comming from the wwwroot dir. of webcamXP. Does anybody out there know what it would take to do this??

      I have got the script to work great.. I love it. But tha main reason that I chose this one was that it had the webcam part. I have been trying to get this to work for a long time and have had no results. Webcamxp isnt working through the script at all. I dont see much posting for support on this script. If anyone has any advice on this or can point me in the direction of another video chat script I would appreciate it. You can email me at my home address if you like.

      To Activate the Video Function:
      You must set-up a webpage and save it in your
      C:\Program Files\WebcamXp\wwwroot\ directory.
      Using an HTML editor or your Note Pad, copy and
      paste this code and "ADD IN" your "IP Address"
      !!!!DO NOT ADD ANY OTHER CODE!!!!
      where is says (IP Address) and save it as "index1.html"
      ( in the dialogue box, scroll down to "all files") and
      type: index1.html and click on save as "index1.html" in your
      C:\Program Files\WebcamXp\wwwroot\.
      OR you can RIGHT CLICK in The WINDOW, click on VIEW SOURCE
      click on FILE, SAVE AS, SAVE AS TYPE: ALL FILES(*.*)
      and type in the box "index1.html" to your
      C:\Program Files\WebcamXp\wwwroot\.

      Save this code only!!!

      <WEBCAMXP_CONTENT>
      <applet codebase="http://(IP Address):8080/" code="b.class" archive="classes.jar" name="b" width="352" height="288" hspace="0" vspace="0" align="top" refresh="5"  filename="cam_1.jpg"></applet>

      Well I answered my own question, and got phpchatnvid to work with webcam32. I changed every incident of webcamxp to webcam32, every incident of port 8080 to 8888 in every file, added a javascript webcam viewer, html page to the phpchatnvid folder, and a REMOTE_ ADDR cgi scritpt to the cgi-bin, redirected and few lines of code in the php scritps, and now it works with webcam32! best of all there is no configuration on the part of the client to have the video working when logged in to the site.

      bansheeman I have no idea why you had that issue Ive never had to do anything to the webcamxp program, although I do know how, it should be generic for anyone to use, you do not have to set up a web page in the root directory of webcamxp to use with the chatnvid product.

      I was wondering if we could talk a little about the phpvidnchat system. I just started a dating site and would like to use this script the modified version you have sounds nice for the clients. The easier the better :)

      I hope you get this and email me back. I sent you a PM also.

      I am running Linux RedHat 9 and in order to get webcam32 to run, you must install it using wine.  Wine may already be installed, but if not google it... there are many webpages that explain how to install and then use it to install.  The one thing I couldn't find was how to execute the webcam32.exe program itself.

      Pay attention to where wine installs the program.  It will probably be a location like this:
      ~/.wine/drive_c/Progrsam Files/... and so on.
      In order to use spaces to get into the directory, you must use \ in front of each space, so that it looks like:
      ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ (and so on).
      goto the directory where webcam32.exe resides and execute:
      wine webcam32.exe

      When you do this, it may tell you that you need MSVCIRT.dll

      This is no problem, you can find it here:
      http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcirt

      This dl file needs to be placed in this folder:
      /root/.wine/drive_c/windows/system/

      After you have placed the dll file in the system foder, go back to the directory that webcam32.exe resides in, and execute:
      wine webcam32.exe

      webcam32.exe will run upon initial installation, but then locks up after a few moments.  I am trying to figure out a workaround, but haven't got it as of yet.
