I want to preg_match but now work need title and duration
//Title
if(preg_match(‘/previewTitle’>(.*?)</’, $match, $matches_title)) {
$video[‘title’] = htmlspecialchars_decode(strip_tags(stripslashes($matches_title[1])), ENT_QUOTES);
} else {
$this->errors[] = ‘Failed to get video title for ‘.$video[‘url’].’!’;
if (!$this->debug) continue;
else $debug_e[] = ‘TITLE’;
}

//Duration

if(preg_match(‘/label’>(.*?)</’, $match, $matches_duration)) {
$video[‘duration’] = duration_to_seconds($matches_duration[1]);
} else {
$this->errors[] = ‘Failed to get video duration for ‘.$video[‘url’].’!’;
if (!$this->debug) continue;
else $debug_e[] = ‘DURATION’;
}

@NogDogJun 19.2019 — I'd strongly recommend using the PHP DOM functions to do this: it's much more robust and won't break as soon as there's the slightest change in the HTML you're scraping.

Will (.*?) contain other HTML tags? If so, the match will terminate at the opening "<" of the first such tag. (This is just one reason that using the DOM class is generally better for scraping HTML.)

Success!
