Hi, I have 2 regex with me which help me in embedding youtube video. The 1st regex attaches [video] ... [/video] BBcode around youtube URL and 2nd regex does the actual embedding of youtube code. I'm looking for one regex which does both of these.
#add video tag to video urls inserted without video tag $text =~ s#(^|\s|\>)((http|https)://www.youtube.com/watch\?\.*v=([a-z0 +-9-_%]+)[&\w;=\+\-]*)#$1\[video\]$2\[\/video\]#isg; #Embed respective video code $text =~ s#\[video\](http|https)://www.youtube.com/watch\?\.*v +=([a-z0-9-_%]+)[&\w;=\+\-]*\[\/video\]#<object class="restrain" type= +"application\/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="385" data="http: +\/\/www\.youtube\.com\/v\/$2"><param name="movie" value="http://www.y +outube.com/v/$2"/><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/><embed width="640" height="385" type="app +lication/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$2" /></obj +ect>#isg;
The sample text may contain video with/without video BB code, so I need to satisfy both conditions and embed in both the cases. Eg: $text= " Video1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTi4v3HveqE Video2: [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTi4v3HveqE[/video]"; Any help on how to merge the 2 regex ?
