$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "demo";
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
$target_dir = "test_upload/";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
if(isset($_POST["upd"]))
    {
        $imageFileType = pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
        if($imageFileType != "mp4" && $imageFileType != "avi" && $imageFileType != "mov" && $imageFileType != "3gp" && $imageFileType != "mpeg")
        {
            echo "File Format Not Suppoted";
        } 
        else
        {
            $video_path=$_FILES['fileToUpload']['name'];
            move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"],$target_file);
            $sql = "INSERT INTO video (video_name) VALUES ('$video_path')";
            $result = $conn->query($sql);
            echo "uploaded ";
        }
    }
if(isset($_POST["disp"]))
{
    $sql = "select * from video";
    $result = $conn->query($sql);
    while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result,MYSQLI_NUM))
    { ?>
        <video width="300" height="200" controls>
        <source src="test_upload/<?php echo $row[1]; ?>" type="video/mp4">
        </video> 
        <?php 
    } 
} ?>

you can’t. Php is excicuited on the server, not the client. It would need to be compressed before it is sent, otherwise it would take the exact same bandwidth.
