Hi,

Can anyone tell me please how can I parse the following:

Code:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/v/PC4HhI0bK4c&hl=en&fs=1[/youtube]

To:

Code:

&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PC4HhI0bK4c&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PC4HhI0bK4c&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed>&lt;/object&gt;

Thanks.

I just get link:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=VlBWm_UXbS0

and then get id after 'v' ie VlBWm_UXbS0

i then call this $url and pass to simplepie like so:

Code:

function add_youtube($url)
   {
    $this->load->library('simplepie');
        
    // code by fellow sheffield lad and leicester based php guru fiaz khan of nextbigleap.com
    // $this->simplepie->feed_url(’http://www.digg.com/rss/indexdig.xml’);
    // You may have encountered an error where it couldn’t find feed_url. This is due
    // to a change in the latest version of simplepie. Simply, feed_url is now set_feed_url
    //$this->simplepie->set_cache_location('/var/www/html/system/application/cache/');
    $this->simplepie->set_cache_location(BASEPATH . 'cache');
    $this->simplepie->set_feed_url("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/videos?vq=" . $url);
    $this->simplepie->init();
    $video_feed = $this->simplepie;
    
    foreach($video_feed->get_items() as $item)
    {      
        if($enclosure = $item->get_enclosure())
          {  
            //get video title
          $data['video_title'] = $item->get_title();
          //get video author
          $data['video_author'] =  $item->get_author();
          $data['video_author'] =  $data['video_author']->get_name();
          //get video tags
            $data['video_tags'] = $enclosure->get_keywords();
            $tags = "";
              foreach($data['video_tags'] as $tag)
              {
                $tags = $tag . " " . $tags;
              }
          $data['video_tags'] = $tags;
          //get video category
          $data['video_category'] = $enclosure->get_category();
          $data['video_category'] =  $data['video_category']->get_label();
          //get video description
          $data['video_description'] = $enclosure->get_description();
          //get video thumbnail
          $data['video_thumbnail'] = $enclosure->get_thumbnail();      
        }
    }
    
    if($data['video_thumbnail'] != "")
    {
      $youtubedata = array('dburl' => $this->make_nice_url($data['video_title']),
                           'dbtitle' => $data['video_title'],
                           'dbdescription' => $data['video_description'],
                           'dbcategory' => $data['video_category'],
                           'dbtags' => $data['video_tags'],  
                           'dbfilename' => $url,
                           'dbthumbimage' => $data['video_thumbnail'],
                           'dbtype' => 'video_youtube',
                           'dbstatus' => 'published',
                           'dbowner' => $this->db_session->userdata('user_name'),
                           'dbauthor' => $this->db_session->userdata('user_name'),
                           'dbdate' => time());
                          
      $this->db->insert('tblmedia', $youtubedata);
      return TRUE;
    }
    else
    {
      return FALSE;
    }
    
   }

Do a simple preg_replace()...

Code:

preg_replace('[youtube](*.)[/youtube]', '&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="$1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>&lt;embed src="$1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed>&lt;/object&gt;');
