I’m looking for a PHP script do use with google/youtube’s API. The script will not only use the feeds, but also allow users to login to youtube and other video hosting sites, and upload videos directly from my website.

I know there are lot of other useful scripts, but I want something that is simple and plus it works with PHP 4.3.1, that is what I have with my hosting.

Everywhere I read, there are a lot of scripts for PHP 5.

Here is what I have done so far.

• I downloaded http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/ from there.
• Downloaded Jquery and  also Ceebox from here, http://catcubed.com/tag/jquery/
• Parsed the feed and it works nicely.
• But I’m stuck :
• What fun is there spending a lot of time creating a script that only searches videos and no more ? Besides, searching videos can be done with plain JavaScript too.

Before I continue, here are some Ifs:

If your host supports PHP,

{ http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/code.html#PHP }

If you want javascript,

{ http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/wizards/videobar.html }

if you want the best free php script,

{ http://www.clip-motion.com/ – it’s a good one. }

So, while I am still searching for alternative ways to get this API working,  following is a brief code that works. It’s in its basic form. But you might actually enjoy learning as I am doing with this script.

I will share with you the final script as it develops further.

Thank you.
