Hi to all, while working on my one wordpress project, i need some function which can get youtube video ID from it url, so i tried to search ready made function on google.
i tried most of all function which are available online but non of them worked perfectly for me, so i take quick action of writing one new function, and so it take only few minutes and i am done with it, after that i thought to share it with you all so here the code.
<?php /* Author : Ayush Singh Url : Webgarb.com Get youtube video ID from URL. */ function youtubeID($url){ $res = explode("v=",$url); if(isset($res[1])) { $res1 = explode('&',$res[1]); if(isset($res1[1])){ $res[1] = $res1[0]; } $res1 = explode('#',$res[1]); if(isset($res1[1])){ $res[1] = $res1[0]; } } return substr($res[1],0,12); return false; } /* Examples */ echo youtubeID("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kffacxfA7G4"). "<br />"; echo youtubeID("http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=kffacxfA7G4"). "<br />"; echo youtubeID("http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=kffacxfA7G4#t=25s"). "<br />"; ?>
Thanks for reading :).
Enjoy and leave comment if you find this function usefull.
Mood : awesome 
Cool!
how do I add that id in place of the single video id included in the example. I tried just exchanging the playlist id (F8CEAC0509B5784C), with the video id from the example, but was told it was not a valid video id.
@sugel : this function only get youtube video ID from url not playlist ID .
