You may need to check into Flash programming with actionscript if you want to build the project as well. This is because if you want to play mpeg/wmv files then the browser needs to have a plugin that supports it and not everyone on the web does have that.

EIDOS made a video mixer before they launched the Kane and Lynch game (I unfortunately can't find it online anymore). It was possible to edit video together with music and sound clips on a timeline.

There are several ways to get php work together with flash such as using AMFPHP. But you still need to hack in actionscript.
