Hello!

Can someone who know regular expressions please help me out with script that converts youtube embed codes to links?
I found this article: http://all4wp.blogspot.com/2008/03/r...bed-video.html but I need to do it in opposite direction.

Thanks!

PHP Code:

//Find:
$find '<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/(.{11}?))[^"]*(?:\"[^\<\>]*>)?([^\<\>]*)"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/'.$matches[1].'" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>';

//Replace:
$replace = 'http://www.youtube.com/v/'.$matches[0]; 


Thanks, but it didn't work for me, because videos can be in various sizes and code sometimes contains newlines.

But this works, finally figured it out by myself:

 ereg_replace("<object(.*)youtube.com/v/(.*)\"(.*)</object>", '<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\\2">click here</a>', $str);

Actually really simple

wrong button :/

FYI, ereg will not be in PHP6 (or so the rumour goes) it's better to use preg ( http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php )
