Ok, if this is question has been covered, I'm sorry. I wasn't able to see any answer to my question.

If I make a php or xml based webpage and have it on my computer, how do I view it on my PS3? To be more specific, I use DVDProfiler and have created a "website" that has my entire DVD collection list on it. I have this "website" file only saved on my computer. My goal is to be able to pull up the file on the PS3 and view it so that I can browse my DVD collection from my PS3.

How do I do this?

You have to install a WebServer in your PC. Once you have it running put the web pages ("website") there. Find the IP address of your PC and what port your webserver is running, usually 80.
Open the Web browser in your PS3 and enter the address, for example: http://192.168.105:80

That's the basic, easiest way.

I'd say save yourself the trouble and grab a streaming\transcoding app like TV Versity, Play On, or PS3 media center.

Is there a reason those won't do in your case?

RSRS13: Do you have any suggestions for a good FREE webserver to use? This is probably the only thing I'll use this for, so FREE and easy is key here.

TyrantII: I thought those programs were for streaming video....how would those display a php page??? Are those apps just that easy to display "other" content????

It depends. If you only are going to server HTML pages something like the "TinyWeb" webserver should be enough.

If you are going to use a programming language like PHP, Perl, ASP, etc. then it's better to check with any of the devs sites. Apache is the one most use, but there may be some other options that easier or more accessible for what you want to do.

Oh and of course, any serious programming will require a database server. Again, if you are using PHP, for example, there are sites that let you download a three pack of Apache (WebServer), MySQL (DB server) and PHP, so everything is setup more easily. And yeah, they are free.

I'm not sure why you're trying to do this through the PS3's web browser. Seems like your needlessly complicating things. Like Tyrant said, if you want to browse/view your movies and music on your PS3 then just download TVersity.

Yup, if you're just trying to be able to view your downloaded content from your PC, TVersity and PS3 Media Center will allow you to add, categorize in folders, copy over, and play downloaded media [music, video, photos]. Both are free.

I haven't played with it otherwise, but there's also ways to set up web video feeds too, for site like youtube, hulu, ect.

Otherwise, not sure why you'd just want a list of your PC files, or links to them.

Tyrant, I think he has a physical DVD collection and wants to view his list on his big screen.

imdjenk is correct. I am sorry if I didn't make myself clear. I have a physical collection of DVD/BD Disks. I use a program called DVD Profiler (http://www.invelos.com/) to track, catalog, and view details on all my movies.

With this program, however, I have the capability to export my collection database into a xml or php type format. I am wanting to fiew one of those formatted exports so that I can view my collection with out haveing to go to my computer to run the program.......

Does this make more sense?

Sabre, I can't help you exactly with your request but if you can't get it to work there are always online services like www.utrackmovies.com. I'm sure there are better ones though, but I know this one is friendly with the PS3 browser.

doesn't DVDProfiler have online cataloging? you should be able to point your ps3 webbrowser to that page log in and see it as well.

but Apache will also do the trick for you.

Note that if you will also also need to install a php or xml parser on your pc as well.

Installing WAMP server (http://www.wampserver.com/en/) is the most easiest way. Its free, most websites use it, internet is a full of articles and most web programmers know it and can answer your questions.
(W)indows version
(A)pache webserver
(M)Mysql dbserver
(P)PHP script engine

Or take LAMP (Linux AMP) if use linux.
