Adding a $embed to a video embed code.

Hey,

I am trying to allow the users of my website to embed youtube videos by only providing the link. I need it so that if no link is provided that the rest of the embed code is not displayed. I have limited PHP knowledge and im seeking help. The site runs on wordpress.

This is what ive got so far:

<?php  $embed = $value = get_post_meta($post->ID, "embed", true); if ($embed == NULL) { echo ''; } else { echo '<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="$embed&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="$embed=en&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>'; } ?>

PHP:

I do not understand how to add the $embed inside the code. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jonny

 

Without seeing all of your code I'm not positive but I think this is what you are trying to do

<?php
$embed = get_post_meta($post->ID, "embed", true); 
if ($embed == NULL) {
	echo ''; 
} else { 
	echo '<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="$embed&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="$embed=en&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>'
; } 
?>

PHP:

 

You have cleaned it up but you missed the bit I need help with

You see the "<object width=...>"? Where it says "Value=" I was trying to put the $embed so it displays the link from the "get_post_meta..."

Hope that makes it clearer.

Thanks,

Jonny
