How to dedect if custom field contains a mp4 file in wordpress?
2
$video = get_post_meta($post->ID,'video_url', true); //default custom field
above is the custom field called video_url but its not allways a video format so I want to dedect first if its a video formar and Im using the following code:
$mimetypes = array('video/mov', 'video/flv', 'video/avi', 'video/avi', 'application/ogg', 'video/webm', 'video/mp4');
if (!empty($video) && in_array($video, $mimetypes) ) {
echo do_shortcode( $shortcode );
}
the shortcode will play it in html 5 video player.So when I remove && in_array($video, $mimetypes) it plays fine but I want to dedect first if its a mp4 or not.
Is it possible to do it in wordpress?
Thankyou.

If your variable $video give a URL of a video then you can explode() funcion it with "." and find the file type from it and if mp4 is found then process your request thereafter.

Try to use strpos() or another php string search function.
in_array() doesn't works correct, cause, for example, your $video looks like so:
www.site.com/videos/video.mp4
And you $mimetypes array doesn't have this string inside
After that, your code will be so:
if (!empty($video) && strpos($video, 'mp4') !== false ) {
echo do_shortcode( $shortcode );
}
