Extract youtube id from url

9 juny, 2009

Simple tip in PHP:

function youtubeid($url) {
        $url_parsed = parse_url($url);
	parse_str($url_parsed['query'],$params);
	return $params['v'];
}

So if $url is “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw2-QCXVN2s&feature=popular“, this function will return pw2-QCXVN2s, the id of video.

You can use this id to embed a Youtube video, or paint a video thumbnail: http://img.youtube.com/vi/$id/2.jpg

    I’ve been trying to show the thumb from a youtube video in my front page for at least 4 hours and not working. Where do you put the
    function youtubeid($url) {
    $url_parsed = parse_url($url);
    parse_str($url_parsed['query'],$params);
    return $params['v'];
    }

    code in wordpress?

    I’m not a coder that’s for sure.

    Thanks for help
