I don't know if this is the right section for this, so sorry if it's not.
I found this simple script for having my latest tweet on my site:
http://www.webdesigndev.com/programm...he-twitter-api
And I was wondering if youtube had a similar feature, where I could have the thumbnails and links to my last few youtube videos on my site.
Screenscrape it with PHP.
I tested it and it works. :)PHP Code:<html>
<head>
<title>Your Youtube Videos ScreenScraper</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$page = file_get_contents("http://www.youtube.com/user/InternationalCaller#p/u");
//Your YouTube user name would go there instead of mine!//
//Above this line, ALL WORKS FINE! ////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// FOR you the $getpage should be the entire html you display on the page
$explodefirst = explode('<div class="scrollbox-body">',$page);
$headerisgone = $explodefirst[1];
$explodesecond = explode('<div class="scrollbox-separator">',$headerisgone);
$endresult = $explodesecond[0];
//You can use str_replace to change style elements, link base urls, etc.
/*
$endresult = str_replace('bgcolor="#2b4c3f"','', $endresult);
$endresult = str_replace('width="325"','width="345"', $endresult);
*/
$endresult = str_replace('href="/','target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/', $endresult); //setting links to open in new window, nofollow and base YouTube.
print '<div class="scrollbox-body">'; //putting back the DIV we removed in the first function
print $endresult;
print '<p> </p>';
?>
</body>
</html>
You can get the general idea and tinker with it to show your latest vids.
You can copy the elements you need from the Youtube stylesheet, and use my str_replace to reset the correct URLs, etc.
