Get YouTube video title in PHP

rated 0 times [ 76] [ 7] / answers: 1 / hits: 16513 / 12 Years ago, mon, march 12, 2012, 12:00:00

In one of my applications I am saving a YouTube video's id... Like "A4fR3sDprOE". I have to display its title in the application. I got the following code for getting its title and also it's working fine.

Now the problem is if any error occurred (in case of a delete of the video) PHP is showing an error. I hust added a condition. But still it's showing the error.

foreach($videos as $video) {



    $video_id = $video->videos;

    if($content=file_get_contents("http://youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=".$video_id)) {

        parse_str($content, $ytarr);



        $myvideos[$i]['video_title']=$ytarr['title'];



    }

    else

        $myvideos[$i]['video_title']="No title";



    $i++;

}



return $myvideos;

In case of an error it's dying with the following:

Severity: Warning

Message: file_get_contents(http://youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=A4fR3sDprOE) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 402 Payment Required

Filename: models/webs.php

It may work to use the error control operators before file_get_contents.

Something like:

if($content = @file_get_contents("http://youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=" . $video_id))

It should remove the error and use it to return false in your if statement.

Else you can just use try/catch statement (see Exceptions):

try{

    // Code

}

catch (Exception $e){

    // Else code

}
