See this StackExchange post:</p> <p><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3392993/php-regex-to-get-youtube-video-id" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3392993/php-regex-to-get-youtube-video-id</a></p> <p>Specifically:<br /> <pre><code>[php] $url = &quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4kxS1ksqtw&amp;feature=relate&quot;; parse_str( parse_url( $url, PHP_URL_QUERY ), $my_array_of_vars ); echo $my_array_of_vars[&#39;v&#39;]; // Output: C4kxS1ksqtw</code></pre> <p>That <em>parse_str</em> will work to return the video ID. You will have to change this code example to get $url from your form field, and you likely won't echo <em>$my_array_of_vars['v']</em> but will use that in your embed code. </p> <p>Hope that helps. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/youtube-video-url-converted-to-youtube-embed-code#post-68819 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 16:33:29 +0000 scottidesign 68819@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello support forum,</p> <p>I want my users to be able to input a URL to a YouTube video, then get only the ID, so that I can embed it how I want into a post (autoplay, size, HD).</p> <p>For example user enters:<br /> <code><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALEUp3kXvvk" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALEUp3kXvvk</a></code></p> <p>Then I want to take that and only use the ID of the video which is ALEUp3kXvvk and insert it into my custom embed:</p> <pre><code>&lt;iframe src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/embed/ALEUp3kXvvk?rel=0&amp;autoplay=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;controls=0&amp;HD=1&amp;modestbranding=1&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;</code></pre> <p>Any help or direction would be much appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
