We’ve received many requests from some of our customers for a dead simple, open source video uploader in PHP. No frills, no progress bar, no Flash – just a simple foundation on which they can develop their own uploaders. Think of this project as the first step in developing a video uploader for your own Web site.

Well, we’ve put together that project and we’re hosting the source on GitHub (for more of our GitHub projects see this blog post). We’ve now added it to our Project Directory (under PHPviddler since it uses that) and we hope that you find it useful to build your uploaders off of.

Need a bit more? Need a progress bar? Don’t mind using Flash? We’ve also got a plugin for PHPViddler called PHPViddlerUploadify that combines PHPViddler with Uploadify – an open source uploader that enables progress bars. Hopefully between the two of these projects you’ll find it very easy to get uploading to Viddler from your site quickly.
