Is it possible to implement video streams similar to YouTube using PHP, and what resources should be consulted for this?

Yes, it is possible to implement video streams similar to YouTube using PHP. One way to achieve this is by using a combination of PHP for server-side logic and HTML5 video player for the front-end display. You can store the video files on the server and use PHP to handle requests, validate users, and serve the video content securely. 

<?php
// PHP code to serve video file
$videoFile = 'path_to_video_file.mp4';

if (file_exists($videoFile)) {
    header('Content-Type: video/mp4');
    header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($videoFile));
    readfile($videoFile);
    exit;
} else {
    echo 'Video file not found';
}
?>
