Question

I have a very basic query string which passes a ID to a receiving page.

On that page, I need to dynamically call the YouTube API, giving my playlistID.

I’m having to use PHP for this, and it’s a little out of my comfort zone, so hopefully someone can wade in with a quick fix for me.

Here is my variable

$playlist;

And I need to replace the 77DC230FBBCE4D58 below with that variable.

$feedURL = 'http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/77DC230FBBCE4D58?v=2';

Any help, as always, greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Once the $playlist variable is set you can construct the feed URL as :

$feedURL = 'http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/' . $playlist . '?v=2';

or

$feedURL = "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/$playlist?v=2";
