I can search for videos by keyword and can fetch videos list from youtube using its api in php. I can fetch video title, description, thumbnail etc. but how can i fetch video url not like this -> youtube.com/watch?id=xyz...     Example: ytpak[dot]com

Hello,

I embed some YouTube videos on my site. Sometimes a video is deleted from YouTube and I have no way of knowing. Does anyone know if there is some php script or by using their API you can check if a video has:

- video has been removed
- video is not embeddable any more

any ideas? Thanks

Hi,

I want to get a latest video from Youtube Playlist. I look it on Google API, and the other solutions, but I think dont undestand quit good what I need to do.

For example a have a playlist:

And I want to see always only a latest uploaded video, so I need a link (embed - watch, or "youtu.be/xy"):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyzziLETNUw&list=PLW8l7rX2YaXkaSI8GGbmqPjOEmfzd2hz3

Thanks in advanced,

Anyone have access to a youtube video/audio downloader script? I'm sure there are one of these laying around somewhere... Looking for 1.

I have a video system on my website that allows users to post videos and it embeds youtube videos into the site, I would like to create an interface where you can comment on the actual video itself and it go to youtube's commenting stream. Is that possible? difficult?

Hello everyone

     I am working on a blog system. and I am having problems with the youtube video embed I have found some script online that kinda works

If I post more then one youtube link the player shows up.. but it says movie not loaded. if I post just one video it just shows the url to the video on youtube.

here is my youtube_function.php


<?PHP
//convert youtube links into embede

function show_youtube($text)
{
$VID_WID = 320;
$VID_HEI = 240;

for ($k=0; $k<9; $k++)
{
$text .= "";
$find = 'youtube.com/watch?v=';
$pos = strpos($text, $find);
if ($pos == false)
{
break;
}
$len = strlen($text);
for ($i=$pos; $i>=0; $i--)
{
if (substr($text, $i, 6) == 'http://')
{
$pos1 = $i;
break;
}
}
for ($i=$pos; $i<$len; $i++)
{
if (in_array($text[$i], array('&', ' ', "\r", "\n", ',', "\t")))
{
$pos2 = $i;
break;
}
}
$link1 = substr($text, $pos1, $pos2 - $pos1);
$link2 = str_replace('/watch?v=', '/v/', $link1);

$embed = '<object width="' . $VID_WID . '" height="' . $VID_HEI . '">'.
'<param name="movie" value="' . $link2 . '"></param>'.
'<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>'.

'allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" '.
'width="' . $VID_WID . '" height="' . $VID_HEI . '"></embed></object>';

$text = str_replace($link1, $embed, $text);
}
return $text;
}
?>

so as you can see I have show_youtube($post->post, $text); I have tried this just out of curiosity to see if I could fix this myself. but It seems like the video does not want to run at all... I am confused with this and some help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

I'm not sure if this is possible   Previously I had a problem of outputting rows of a specific query   This was the solution that was given to me

$txt .= $date . " " . $stratoparse . "\n\n";

Where a while loop's results were concatenated to a single string   What I would like to do is output the results in individual containers with controls such as dragging for repositioning / an x for deletion   That's not what I'm here for in this post   I want to embed youtube videos, so they are not just stored as links, rather a clickable video   so if you have something like string.string2.string3.string4.string5.<iframe src="youtube"...>.string7.string8   how would that video be isolated and parsed / understood as a front end youtube video ?   To provide a brief background in case you are wondering why in my right mind, I would want to do this...   First it is the primary solution that comes to mind going off what already works   Secondly, the purpose or point of the concatenated string comes from the "application" design which is a store and recall interface.   Vague, I know. The website has multiple users and they all have access to a single database. They save random strings, whether they are paragraphs or links, possibly videos that are uploaded, etc... these are saved by a keyphrase, later recalled by searching that keyphrase.   Currently the output is nothing more than a concatenated string, that was fine initially but some of my friends have been testing the website and they made suggestions which are good such as repositioning and deleting entries. Now I want to automatically parse youtube links into embedded videos...   I'll probably use that explode "function" to disect the link and place the url within the src=" "   Anyway, I have to look into this but if anyone has any thoughts I'd appreciate it.

This is a section of my code that goes and gets videos from any video site. What I’m having issues with is having it post a random title, that are all in a text file called titles.txt. What I’m wanting to accomplish is have my script go pull the video embed code, the duration, the tags, etc. Which all works fine until I get to the title part where it pulls locally from the server from the text file. I'm not an advance programmer so not sure if I am even approaching this correct way. Here is the code I have that is responsible for putting the title in. I appreciate your help.

$video = array(
‘user_id’ => $this->user_id,
‘status’ => $this->status,
‘site’ => ‘my site’,
‘id’ => ‘’,
‘embeddable’ => true,
‘url’ => ‘’,
‘titles’ => ‘’,
‘title’ => ‘’,
‘description’ => ‘’,
‘tags’ => ‘’,
‘category’ => ‘’,
‘thumbs’ => array(),
‘duration’ => 0,
‘embed’ => ‘’
);

function random_title ()
{
$titles = file (“titles.txt”, FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES);
$num = rand (0, intval (count ($titles) / 3)) * 3;
return ucwords($titles[$num]);
}

//Title
if(preg_match(’/title="(.*?)"/’, $match, $matches_title)) {
$video[‘title’] = random_title(). ’ - My site name’;
} else {
$this->errors[] = ‘Failed to get video title for ‘.$video[‘url’].’!’;
if (!$this->debug) continue;
else $debug_e[] = ‘TITLE’;
}

 

I tried searching google and phpclasses.org for something of this nature, but can't seem to come across anything. (or possibly using the wrong keywords).

Basically I am looking for a class that I can instantiate with a URL (or similar), and in turn it will provide me with the appropriate embed code for that video along with a thumbnail. (Thumbnail optional)
I currently having something im using, but its restricted purely to YouTube, and wish to expand it to all video providers.

Does anyone know of any code available (class) that can provide me with what I mentioned above.

Thanks

I have the content of an email in a database, and I need to generate a screenshot of the email based on that..

Any help would be great!

How can i make this hit counter code, so that it doesnt update the views on ALL of my videos. i want it to be unique for each video id. any ideas?

Code: [Select]
<?php
                $querySelect = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `mydatabase` WHERE `counter`");
                $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($querySelect);
                $counter = $row['counter'];
               
                if (empty($counter)) {
                       
                        $counter = 1;
                        $insert = mysql_query ("INSERT INTO counter VALUES ('counter')");
                }
               
                        $add = $counter+1;
                        $insertNew = mysql_query("UPDATE mydatabase SET counter=('$add')");
                                echo "Video Views";
                                echo ":";
                                echo" ";
                                echo"<br />";
                                echo "$counter";
                ?>
 www.game4vids.com if you pick a video you can see that it changes the views on ALL the videos i have.

How could I from the varying URLs parse only the YouTube video ID?

How can I from the URLs above only extract the id into a variable $url
