Parse Youtube ID from Youtube embed code

Could someone give me help with parsing out Youtube ID from youtube embed code

Input:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/q_9cL9hfZs4"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/q_9cL9hfZs4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Code (markup):

Output:

q_9cL9hfZs4

Code (markup):

 

preg_match('/youtube\.com\/v\/([\w\-]+)/', $code, $match);

echo $match[1];

PHP:

Untested.

 

nico_swd, if the function is putting the result into an array (which i think it is), wouldnt the first bit be addressed by 0, not 1?

 

$match[0] exists, but I believe it holds the entire result, while $match[1] holds the code (video ID) we actually want.

 

ah yes i just tested it and you are right
