Hello!
I'm kind of a beginner so please excuse any stupidity of mine.
I'm working on a mini project and I want to make it easy to embed youtube videos on this website. The problem is that the embedding doesn't work when using my script. I'm not completely sure it's a PHP-problem so please move the thread if needed.
<p>
<iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html"
width="640" height="390" src="[PAGE_URL]" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen>
</iframe>
<br>
<a href="[PAGE_URL]">[PAGE_TITLE]</a><br/>
[PAGE_DESCRIPTION]<br/>
[PAGE_URL]
</p>
I've created a form to use for myself as admin to make it easy embedding videos and above is the result on the public page.
The problem is that [PAGE_URL] doesn't work in the iframe to retrieve the URL for the video. The result is just a white box in the browser. I know that [PAGE_URL] works because the link prints as it should below outside of the iframe. I also know the embedding works in general because it works fine if I just put the URL in myself.
Any ideas? Maybe this shouldn't even work. If not, any ideas of what I can do instead to make it smooth for me to upload embedded videos to my website?
Thanks
