Simple Search to list youtube results Help!

Mancent · October 9, 2011

I am wanting to write a script that will allow a user to search youtube videos!

What I have so far is not working yet, but I know it can be done!

I found this code and it works and its not a million api files to get one thing working!

$Search=split("\n",$Search);
for($i=0;$i<count($Search);$i++){

$Search=htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($Search));
return "<form method=\"get\" action=\"\">\n <table>\n <tr>\n".

# Require the YouTube class

# Set the PHP vars 
$Form = YouTube::printForm($_GET['search_query']); 
$Result = YouTube::getURL($_GET['search_query']); 

print <<<YTVSC

<body> 
{$Form}
YTVSC;
print_r($Result);
print <<<YTVSC
</body> 
</html> 
YTVSC;
?>

It allows me to have a feed link on my site to get the data

http://claritydreams.com/youtube/YouTube.php?YT_Search=Staind

I can push that ?YT_Search as a search from with in my client but I want to convert the file in to xml to read the data back into the client.

http://claritydreams.com/youtube/search.php?SreachName=Staind

<?php
$SreachName = $_GET['SreachName']; 
if(empty($SreachName))
{
echo "No Search";
return true;
}
    // set feed URL
    
$feedURL = 'https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q='.$SreachName;
    
    // read feed into SimpleXML object
    $sxml = simplexml_load_file($feedURL);
   
     // echo $sxml->title; 
    $youtube_xml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n"; 
$youtube_xml .= "<root>\n";
$youtube_xml .= "<youtube>\n";
    // iterate over entries in feed
    foreach ($sxml->entry as $entry) {
      // get nodes in media: namespace for media information
      $media = $entry->children('http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/');
      
      // get video player URL
      $attrs = $media->group->player->attributes();
      $watch = $attrs['url']; 
      
      // get video thumbnail
      $attrs = $media->group->thumbnail[0]->attributes();

My problem is this line

<watch>

I need to remove

and make it say this

Any ideas how i can do that?

$attrs = $media->group->player->attributes();
      $watch = $attrs['url'];

Try using strrpos() to get the last amperstand.

<?php
$attrs = $media->group->player->attributes();
      $watch = substr($attrs['url'],0,strrpos($attrs['url'],'&'));

Take a look here at some youtube embed scripts I made and will see how can obtain the video id value.
