Hi,
I am attempting to parse the video ID of a youtube URL using preg_match. I found a regular expression on this site that appears to work;
(?<=v=)[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(?=&)|(?<=[0-9]/)[^&\n]+|(?<=v=)[^&\n]+
My PHP code is as follows:
<?php
<?
$subject = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_AbfPXTKms&NR=1";
preg_match("(?<=v=)[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(?=&)|(?<=[0-9]/)[^&\n]+|(?<=v=)[^&\n]+", $subject, $matches);
print "<pre>";
print_r($matches);
print "</pre>";
?>

Try the following code:
<?php
$url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_AbfPXTKms&NR=1"
$pattern = getPatternFromUrl($url); //this will retun video id
function getPatternFromUrl($url)
{
$url = $url.'&';
$pattern = '/v=(.+?)&+/';
preg_match($pattern, $url, $matches);
//echo $matches[1]; die;
return ($matches[1]);
}
?>
