How to generate normal YouTube URL to Embed URL in OOP PHP

The video ID can be extracted from a conventional YouTube URL in PHP using regular expressions or string manipulation, and an embed URL can be created. The following is a simple example of how to do it.

This code defines a function getYoutubeEmbedUrl() that takes a normal YouTube URL as input and returns the corresponding embed URL.

function getYoutubeEmbedUrl($url) {
    // Pattern to match YouTube URLs Use heare
    $pattern = '/^(?:https?:\/\/)?(?:www\.)?(?:youtube\.com\/(?:[^\/\n\s]+\/\S+\/|(?:v|e(?:mbed)?)\/|\S*?[?&]v=)|youtu\.be\/)([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{11})/';
    
    // Check if the URL matches the pattern 
    if (preg_match($pattern, $url, $matches)) {
        $video_id = $matches[1];
        // Construct the embed URL
        $embed_url = "https://www.youtube.com/embed/$video_id";
        return $embed_url;
    } else {
        return false; // URL doesn't match the pattern
    }
}

// Example usage
$normal_url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ";
$embed_url = getYoutubeEmbedUrl($normal_url);
if ($embed_url) {
    echo "Embed URL: $embed_url";
} else {
    echo "Invalid YouTube URL";
}

The regular expression pattern matches various YouTube URL formats and extracts the video ID, which is then used to construct the embed URL. If the input URL doesn't match the pattern, the function returns false.
