How to Allow Users to add Youtube Videos

How do I allow users to embed videos into my site? They will input the code on one page and the video will show on another page, how do i do this please help me thank you

 

bbcode. search bbcode on php.net.

 

Hi, I looked but i don't understand any on it, I was hoping some could tell what codes i got to use and where i put them.

 

sorry about that. even bb_code_create() not available on my machine. php 5.2.3 windows.

i give it a try.

 

<?php

if (!empty($_POST['video_id']) ){
    $video_id = $_POST['video_id']; 
    
    $pattern = '#\[youtube\](.+?)\[/youtube\]#'; 
    $convert_to_this = '<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/\1?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/\1?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>';
    $user_enter_this = "[youtube]".$video_id."[/youtube]";
    
    $result = preg_replace($pattern, $convert_to_this, $user_enter_this); 
    
    echo $result;  
}

?>

<?php if (empty($_POST['video_id']) ): ?>
<form method="post" action="">
<input type="text" name="video_id" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<?php endif; ?>

Code (markup):

1. user enter [youtube]video_id[/youtube] example: [youtube]yvuOtlpSAeY[/youtube]
2. then it will be converted to embed video tag
3. then you can add this on your wysiwyg editor

 

i will try that. and tell you the status on it
