Get_Headers For Youtube Video Validation

[doofy]

Essentially all I am trying to do is loop through 10 youtube videos, IF they are active videos. Right now the get_headers function seems to be stopping the while loop after the first go.

 

I'm a newb still, so any help with this would be EXTREMELY appreciated! I'm sure it's something simple that I'm just not grasping.

 

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
   {

   $headers = get_headers("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/".$row['YouTubeURL']."?v=2&alt=jsonc");

   if (strpos($headers[0], '200'))
       {

       if ($row['VideoID']!=$VideoID)
           {
           echo "<tr>";
      	 echo "<td align='left' valign='top' width='200'>";
           $json = json_decode(file_get_contents("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/".$row['YouTubeURL']."?v=2&alt=jsonc"));
           echo '<img src="' . $json->data->thumbnail->hqDefault . '" alt="'.$row['Title'].'" border=0 width="200">';
           echo "</td>";
           echo "<td align='left' valign='top' width='250'>";
           if (empty($Category))
               {
               echo "<a href='?VideoID=".$row['VideoID'].$pagelink."'>".$row['Title']."</a><br/><br/>";
               }
               else
               {
               echo "<a href='?Category=".$row['Category']."&VideoID=".$row['VideoID'].$pagelink."'>".$row['Title']."</a><br/><br/>";
               }
           echo "<br /><br />";
           echo "<b><font size='1'>";
           echo " Video Added: ";
           echo $row['DateStamp'];
           echo "</b></font><br /></tr>";
           }

       return true;
       }
   }

Currently what it is doing

Currently what it looked like before I was attempting to check for a 200 header.

 

Thanks again in advance,

       return true;
       }
   }

 

return means that PHP will exit that function, so your first video to return a 200 status is going to cause the script to jump out of that function and back to wherever you called that function from. Near as I can tell from the code given, you probably just want to remove that line so the loop can continue.

That's for the heads up, I clearly am a n00b. I read about it, but couldn't figure it out. So much appreciated.

 

I'll mark as resolved!
