Please help with echo youtube id.. simple

[brong112]

I used to have an acc at phpfreaks.. started coding again.  I'd appreciate some help cuz this is pissing me off..

	<?php
		$xml=simplexml_load_file("http://X/demo/statefarm/id.xml");
		$id = $xml->customid;
		echo $id
		
		?>

This works fine

	<?php
		$xml=simplexml_load_file("http://x.com/demo/statefarm/id.xml");
		$id = $xml->customid;
		echo $id
		
	echo	"<iframe src="$id" allowfullscreen="no" frameborder="0" height="125" width="182">" 
		
		?>

This dosen't.  I have tried every combination of syntax and google and I just get a blank page.  I'd appreciate some help, thanks.

echo $id

Missing a semicolon. It works in the first one because it's the last statement within the <?php block. It's not the last statement in the second one.

 

echo	"

1. Missing a semicolon. Yes, last statement, but do it anyway.

2. Strings

thanks for the reply..

 

So I have this

	<?php
		$xml=simplexml_load_file("http://x.com/demo/statefarm/id.xml");
		$id = $xml->customid;

		
echo	"<iframe src="$id" allowfullscreen="no" frameborder="0" height="125" width="182">";
		
		?>

and 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<message>
<customid>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkTb9GP9lVI</customid>
</message>

here's my xml file

 

 

 

If I try and echo just the id, it works fine.  It only shows as a blank page when I'm putting it in the iframe.

 

Edit.. 

 

I can't find the right string.  I've tried over and over again.

They don't spell it out in the documentation for double-quoted strings, but they do for single-quoted.

Single quoted

 

The simplest way to specify a string is to enclose it in single quotes (the character ').

 

To specify a literal single quote, escape it with a backslash (\).

So the double-quoted string version would be

Double quoted

 

The next simplest way to specify a string is to enclose it in double quotes (the character ").

 

To specify a literal double quote, escape it with a backslash (\).

Thanks, I'm getting closer? 

 

 

<?php
$xml=simplexml_load_file("http://x.com/demo/statefarm/id.xml");
$id = $xml->customid;




echo '<iframe src=' .$id . ' allowfullscreen="no" frameborder="0" height="125" width="182">';


?>

 

<?php
$xml=simplexml_load_file("http://x.com/demo/statefarm/id.xml");
$id = $xml->customid;




echo "<iframe src=\"$id/\" allowfullscreen="no" frameborder="0" height="125" width="182">";


?>

All of the quotes need to be escaped or changed. You could try

echo '<iframe src="' . $id . '" allowfullscreen="no" frameborder="0" height="125" width="182">';

 

Or

echo "<iframe src='$id' allowfullscreen='no' frameborder='0' height='125' width='182'>";

Before I put the variable in.. I can't even get it to show with just a youtube link?  I'm lost..

<?php

echo '<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWOA6F2s6Nc" allowfullscreen="no" frameborder="0" height="125" width="182">';
	

?>

or

<?php


echo "<iframe src=" . 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWOA6F2s6Nc' . " allowfullscreen="no" frameborder="0" height="125" width="182">";
	

?>

...screw this i'm playing video games.

For what it's worth, the embed code suggested by YouTube looks slightly different than what you have.

 

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nbp3Ra3Yp74" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

 

Also note that the website address is formatted differently than regular YouTube links.
