Question

Welcome,

I notice that Youtube make some changes into their website code.

Anyone have idea how make it working today ?

That’s my script (don’t work anymore)

preg_match('/"video_id": "(.*?)"/', $page, $match);
$var_id = $match[1];

preg_match('/"t": "(.*?)"/', $page, $match);
$var_t = $match[1];

Look at source of example Youtube video page:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_J27GxPNM0 (yes i like that song very much)

Now the t variable can be found under

<script>
  (function() {
   var isIE = /*@cc_on!@*/false;

I dont paste full because it’s very long.

Regards

Just looking at it, it seems that this should work easily enough:

pregmatch('/&video_id=([a-zA-Z0-9-%_]*)&/', $page, $match);
$var_id = $match[1];

pregmatch('/&t=([a-zA-Z0-9-%_]*)&/', $page, $match);
$var_t = $match[1];

By the way, if you want to be able to do this yourself, it’s quite easy. You just need to learn how to use something called a regex. This website is particularly helpful: http://regular-expressions.info/
