Looking for a function to get 3 youtube thumbnail + videos??

Hi,

I am looking for a php function which gets 3 youtube thumbnails based on the ?v= value from youtube
??

 

<?php
/*
@Function: YouTube Thumbnail Fetcher
@Author: Dan Mcdonald.
@Date: 21/05/2009
*/
function get_thumbs($youtube_url){
$youtube_url = trim(str_replace(array("http://", "www."), "", strtolower($youtube_url)));
if(preg_match("/youtube\.com\/watch\?v=([a-z0-9]*)/i", $youtube_url)){
preg_match_all("/http:\/\/i1\.ytimg\.com\/vi\/([A-Za-z0-9]*)\/default\.jpg/", file_get_contents("http://www.".$youtube_url), $thumbs);
return print_r($thumbs[0]);
} else {
return false;
}
}

get_thumbs("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPdTAg_krJI");
?>

PHP:

Enjoy

 

thx,
hmm

with $test = getThumbs i get

Array
(
    [0] => http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/lHjNmyzrVvM/default.jpg
    [1] => http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/lHjNmyzrVvM/default.jpg
    [2] => http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/DwzakwE2axI/default.jpg
    [3] => http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/DwzakwE2axI/default.jpg
    [4] => http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/p7gjK3OgUM0/default.jpg
    [5] => http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/p7gjK3OgUM0/default.jpg
    [6] => http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/pUr6nN8YkDU/default.jpg
    [7] => http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/pUr6nN8YkDU/default.jpg
    [8] => http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/HthL62uI3ZU/default.jpg
    [9] => http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/HthL62uI3ZU/default.jpg
    [10] => http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/pUr6nN8YkDU/default.jpg
    [11] => http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/pUr6nN8YkDU/default.jpg
)

Code (markup):

how would i get say the 3
$test[3]???

btw i am looking for the last 3 video i uploaded or my favorites

 

This example would return only 3 thumbnails, and then you can select a thumbnail like $thumbs[2] (to get the last thumbnail from the 3 returned)

$youtube_url = trim(str_replace(array("http://", "www."), "", strtolower($youtube_url)));
if(preg_match("/youtube\.com\/watch\?v=([a-z0-9]*)/i", $youtube_url)){
preg_match_all("/http:\/\/i1\.ytimg\.com\/vi\/([A-Za-z0-9]*)\/default\.jpg/", file_get_contents("http://www.".$youtube_url), $thumbs);
return array_slice($thumbs[0], 0, 3);
} else {
return false;
}
}

$thumbs = get_thumbs("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPdTAg_krJI");

echo $thumbs[2];
?>

PHP:

This example would return all thumbnails, and then you can select a thumbnail like $thumbs[3] (to get the third thumbnail)

$youtube_url = trim(str_replace(array("http://", "www."), "", strtolower($youtube_url)));

preg_match_all("/http:\/\/i1\.ytimg\.com\/vi\/([A-Za-z0-9]*)\/default\.jpg/", file_get_contents("http://www.".$youtube_url), $thumbs);
return $thumbs[0];
} else {
return false;
}
}

$thumbs = get_thumbs("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPdTAg_krJI");

echo $thumbs[3];
?>

PHP:

 

ah tx,

Still a couple of questions:
1/ when getting thumbs for http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPdTAg_krJI each time i refresh the thumb is different?? (array_slice??)
2/ I will need title and description as well
3/Is it possible to get a feed based on username (i am now testing with simplepie )? Which i would use to get the thumbs?


ps: did you see ufc 110 nog velasquez

 

hmm, still haven't found a solution

i want this layout


but i stuck with this
.bldd.nl/youtube/

For this i am using youtube api with javascript GSvideoBar but i can't seem to find the title / description

 

Ok found a solution
here's the result:
.bldd.nl/youtube/index4.php
