Are there any potential pitfalls to be aware of when using PHP to stream videos on a website?

One potential pitfall when using PHP to stream videos on a website is that it can consume a lot of server resources, especially if multiple users are streaming videos simultaneously. To mitigate this issue, you can use a video streaming service or a content delivery network (CDN) to offload the streaming process from your server. 

// Example code using a video streaming service to stream videos
$video_url = 'https://example.com/video.mp4';
echo '<video width="320" height="240" controls>';
echo '<source src="' . $video_url . '" type="video/mp4">';
echo 'Your browser does not support the video tag.';
echo '</video>';
