Upload to YouTube with PHP?

[schilly]

Has anyone had any success doing this?

 

I'm not sure if I should try to write this myself or use some kind of framework. I found the Zend Gdata framework (http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.gdata.html) and tried it out but I kept getting error: Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening '1' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear')

 

I'm assuming it needs to find PEAR which I don't have installed but no where in the Zend docs does it say that it requires PEAR so I'm a little confused. I've never used any of the Zend frameworks so I have no idea if it needs PEAR or not.

 

Anyone have any other methods for doing this?

 

Thx.

Ok might have figured out my include issue so I'll guess I'll continue trying Zend out.

 

Anyone else done this before?

I haven't even touched Zend and I refuse to for my own sake. But if you want to get some information, or learn how to do it there is this resource as a good starting point.

yea already read over the youtube api. they don't have any php examples, just what http headers to send. was hoping to save some time with some example code or pre-built classes.

Ok got this working finally. Good example here: http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_php.html

 

Here's my code:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

//include Zend Gdata Libs
require_once("Zend/Gdata/ClientLogin.php");
require_once("Zend/Gdata/HttpClient.php");
require_once("Zend/Gdata/YouTube.php");
require_once("Zend/Gdata/App/MediaFileSource.php");
require_once("Zend/Gdata/App/HttpException.php");
require_once('Zend/Uri/Http.php');

//yt account info
$yt_user = 'username or gmail address';
$yt_pw = 'pw';
$yt_source = 'name for your application';

//yt dev key
$yt_api_key = 'api-key';

//login in to YT
$authenticationURL= 'https://www.google.com/youtube/accounts/ClientLogin';
$httpClient = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient(
						              $username = $yt_user,
						              $password = $yt_pw,
						              $service = 'youtube',
						              $client = null,
						              $source = $yt_source, // a short string identifying your application
						              $loginToken = null,
						              $loginCaptcha = null,
						              $authenticationURL);

$yt = new Zend_Gdata_YouTube($httpClient, $yt_source, NULL, $yt_api_key);

$myVideoEntry = new Zend_Gdata_YouTube_VideoEntry();

$filesource = $yt->newMediaFileSource('absolute/path/to/video');
$filesource->setContentType('video/quicktime');
$filesource->setSlug('mytestmovie.mov');

$myVideoEntry->setMediaSource($filesource);

$myVideoEntry->setVideoTitle('My Test Movie');
$myVideoEntry->setVideoDescription('My Test Movie');
// Note that category must be a valid YouTube category !
$myVideoEntry->setVideoCategory('Comedy');

// Set keywords, note that this must be a comma separated string
// and that each keyword cannot contain whitespace
$myVideoEntry->SetVideoTags('cars, funny');

// Upload URI for the currently authenticated user

$uploadUrl = "http://uploads.gdata.youtube.com/feeds/users/$yt_user/uploads";

// Try to upload the video, catching a Zend_Gdata_App_HttpException
// if availableor just a regular Zend_Gdata_App_Exception

try {
    $newEntry = $yt->insertEntry($myVideoEntry,
                                 $uploadUrl,
                                 'Zend_Gdata_YouTube_VideoEntry');
} catch (Zend_Gdata_App_HttpException $httpException) {
    echo $httpException->getRawResponseBody();
} catch (Zend_Gdata_App_Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

echo "<pre>" . var_dump($newEntry) . "</pre>";

echo 'end';

?>
