Kieran Menor Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do. Could you try to rephrase the question?

Kieran Menor Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 So, what. You want people to be able to upload videos to your site, which in turn will upload them to YouTube?

coolcam262 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hi, I don't think you want to actually upload the files, you just want to get the youtube videos and display them. It's not that difficult but you will need to use an xml file to get the youtube information. I think this tutorial is what you want: It's not the one I used before I don't think but it's made by the same person so it should be alright.

coolcam262 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Well basically youtube tries to make it as easy as possible to allow you to do what you're doing. They create an xml file that tells you information about your latest videos. For example this is the xml of my channel: http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/coolcam262/uploads It shows the latest videos I have created. To find yours just use the url http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/username/uploads You can then look through it and you will find your videos. Of course you don't want to just display all this text, you want it to look nice! To do that you need to parse the xml to php. There's loads of premade functions for us to use but basically all they do is take the xml file and turn it into arrays! For example it might look something like: $youtube['videos']['1']['desc'] and this might show the very first video you made's description. One function that has been made is called xml2php that converts... xml to php! All you need to do is include the xml2php.php file in your code. Google how to use and download the function, it's really simple. I hope I helped!
