php and media viewers

Dumb question...

Does PHP have any facility for utilizing flash, shockwave, quicktime, or any
such media viewer from inside some browser application?

However, you need to remember where the code is running. PHP is running on
the web SERVER. Multimedia viewers run in the web BROWSER. It doesn't
take any PHP-specific code to display a Flash: it's all straight HTML.
