Hi friends Today, I will tell you through this tutorial that you can get the id of video from youtube video url via php script code.
I will tell you to get the id of youtube video in 3 ways. So let’s try to understand this by example.
Example 1 :
<?php
$link = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiXdSJYRHA0";
$video_id = explode("?v=", $link);
echo $video_id = $video_id[1];
?>
Example 2:
<?php
// Here is a sample of the URLs this regex matches: (there can be more content after the given URL that will be ignored)
// $url = http://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ
// $url = http://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ
// $url = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
// $url = http://www.youtube.com/?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
preg_match('%(?:youtube(?:-nocookie)?\.com/(?:[^/]+/.+/|(?:v|e(?:mbed)?)/|.*[?&]v=)|youtu\.be/)([^"&?/ ]{11})%i', $url, $match);
echo $youtube_id = $match[1];
?>
Example 3:
<?php
$link = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0&lololo";
$video_id = explode("?v=", $link); // For videos like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...
if (empty($video_id[1]))
$video_id = explode("/v/", $link); // For videos like http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/..
$video_id = explode("&", $video_id[1]); // Deleting any other params
$video_id = $video_id[0];
?>
