not really sure what exactly you ar going after here c0nsur, which is probably why no one answered. Want to flush out the info a little bit?

ok sorry if it was blurry! :P

i just want people can have a page on my website where we can see their webcam

so i guess i would need to detect webcam setting or grab a pictures every X seconds

im pretty lost about this subject and theres not much info on the web

i hope its a better description
s0rry for my poor english but im trying :)

i don't think you can use just php - flash can do something similar, however what i'd recommend is a compiled client side application.

write something in (e.g.) VC++ that pulls the pic from the camera, encodes it suitably, then it could send to php by POST, along with suitable authentication. then php could output the page of pictures as required. this is most suitable for a referesh rate of 0.1Hz or lower
