parse youtube video id using preg_match [duplicate]

by

This regex grabs the ID from all of the various URLs I could find…
There may be more out there, but I couldn’t find reference of them anywhere. If you come across one this doesn’t match, please leave a comment with the URL, and I’ll try and update the regex to match your URL.

if (preg_match('%(?:youtube(?:-nocookie)?\.com/(?:[^/]+/.+/|(?:v|e(?:mbed)?)/|.*[?&]v=)|youtu\.be/)([^"&?/\s]{11})%i', $url, $match)) {
    $video_id = $match[1];
}

Here is a sample of the URLs this regex matches: (there can be more content after the given URL that will be ignored)

It also works on the youtube-nocookie.com URL with the same above options.

It will also pull the ID from the URL in an embed code (both iframe and object tags)
