title: Filestreaming to html5 in PHP without writing a file to the filesystem
body: <p>I'm fairly new to PHP and definitely new to streaming video.</p>
  
  <p>I have mp4 videos stored in a filestream column of my SQL SERVER, and I'd like to stream them to HTML5 video. </p>
  
  <p>I've managed to use the following stream class ( <a href="http://codesamplez.com/programming/php-html5-video-streaming-tutorial" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://codesamplez.com/programming/php-html5-video-streaming-tutorial</a> ) by providing it a temporary file via 'file_put_contents($filePath, $queryresult),' but having to depend on writing and then cleaning up an intermediate file in the filesystem is problematic in the end.</p>
  
  <p>Am I missing a key concept that would allow me to stream a file directly from the DB to the video "src" without having to write to a file in between?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
