hi !

i’ve tried your script but, i get errors:

Warning: require_once(HTTP/Client.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ….

i checked source and see:

require_once ‘HTTP/Client.php’;
require_once ‘HTTP/Request.php’;
require_once ‘HTTP/Client/CookieManager.php’;

i’m missing these files in that zip pack.

as mentioned, the PEAR/HTTP-module which should include all 3 classes is a pre-requirement. on linux/*nix try these commands:

pear list
pear install HTTP

oh sorry, i have it installed now.
even when i go to run demo.php i get

Download done! File: demo.flv

can you a little bit explain how it does work ?
cuz i don’t see any video in my youtube acc.

what happens in this row:
$tube->download(”TWZ5j-SNVKs”,”demo.flv”);

what kind of extension of movies i can use ? or must i have all movies convert to flv before ?

hi miob…

sorry for the lack of inline documentation… I shall add some comments soon. briefly said there are two main methods (as you can see in demo.php):

1) Download of existing YouTube-clips

$tube->download(”TWZ5j-SNVKs”,”demo.flv”);

parameter 1 (”TWZ5j-SNVKs”) is the unique ID as you find it in the YouTube-URL of a particular video (”http://youtube.com/watch?v=TWZ5j-SNVKs”).
parameter 2 (”demo.flv”) is the filename the video is stored to locally

2) Upload of new Clips to YouTube

$id = $tube->upload (”/path/to/videofile.3gp”,”PHPTube Demo”, “Demo PHP YouTube”, “…”, 10, “DE”);

Parameters: local path to video-file, video-title, video-tags, description, category, language
Return: ID of the new Video-Clip

it’s important to initialize the class with you YouTube username & password to make the upload work!…

$tube = new PHPTube (”username”,”password”);

yeah perfect,
so in this case i use only:

$tube = new PHPTube (”user”,”pass”);
$id = $tube->upload (”videofile.3gp”,”PHPTube Demo”, “Demo PHP YouTube”, “…”, 10, “DE”);

i got response “No URL given.”

videofile.3gp file exists in same directory as is demo.php

i veven noticed that if i put wrong pass word to youtube it doesn’t tell me that i was wrong…

let me know what i’m wrong

hi again..

Im pretty sure this missleading error-message is a result of wrong username/password (I’ve just tried it mysel). I’ve bugfixed this in 0.1.1 …

thx!

Perfect, i updated latest version

my resut was:
Upload done! ID: BB7AaDZ20bs

i checked it on the site and found it.
can you tell me how do i get embedded code if i got id ?

and tell me please what extensions i can upload to youtube…

thanx

cool, glad it worked!

about the supported file-formats: check this: http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=55744&topic=10526
in addition it seems to work with 3GP and some other formats…

about the embedded code: just use the normal embed-code from any other video, just be sure to replace both occurences of the ID (f.e. “rYOxP_j64vQ”) with the new ID!

AWESOME !!!

Very excellent job !

i see you tube allows to upload up to 100mb, i must handle it on my server, do you know any utility what to show to user while he’s waiting for upload , something nice..

i like dailymotion.com upload graphics, it’s kicking ass, do you know something nice ?

i think i should donate , with your help

you might wanna search for flash+file+upload to find some ready-to-use flash solutions for file uploads…

http://www.google.com/search?q=flash%2Bfile%2Bupload

Thx for the script. It works! But when I try to upload a video little bigger(23MB), i have the following warning:

Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in phptube.php on line 97

Is there anyway to fix it?

@inthesky: increase the setting max_execution_time in your php.ini (usually somewhere like /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini). dont forget to restart apache!

if you cant edit php.ini (like if you’re no root/admin) you might wanna try ini_set:

http://at.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php

thx:)

hi again! I created a upload page in my site. But when i upload, it gives me the following warning (but i get a video ID returned):

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: fread() [function.fread]: Length parameter must be greater than 0
Filename: HTTP/Request.php
Line Number: 945

(For uploading the video from client-side to my server, i use php form and put the video in a certain place for using your script.)

Do you know what is the problem?

ah, for the ini_set, i tried it for a public php server, but it seems doesn’t work. Can a server be configurated to reject it?

@inthesky: sorry, without seeing the code I really can’t tell where’s the problem.

regarding ini_set: yes, It’s quite likely that public/shared servers disable some of the php.ini-settings for normal users…

Hello,
I am using PHPTube..
at first it worked very well…but now I am getting “L PUBLIC” as the ID of the File
I have uploaded…does anybody know why I am getting this.

Thanks again Guys..

Elie

hi elie, I just investigated on the problem and found the reason… YouTube apparantly has slightly changed their upload-forms (which my class relies on)…PHPTube 0.1.2 should fix the problem!

Thanks “subnet”. I will test it and then brief you on the results….
Thanks again for the effort…and keep up the good job..

Elie

[...] a side-effect of this update, some commenters noticed that my video upload-API PHPTube has been broken by these changes. todays release 0.1.2 is [...]

hi, i have changed the new version and it works well. thanks. And I would like to make my page more beautiful. Do you know if youtube gives an API for feeding back the rate of progress for the upload?

@intehsky: well done!
unfortunately there’s no way to get the upload-progress when uploading to youtube
just curious, where do I find your site?

btw.: if you like PHPTube, don’t forget to vote for it at http://www.phpclasses.org/vote.html - your vote is appreciated very much! (you need to sign up for phpclasses to vote…which is really worth the effort as its a constantly good source for php-code).

[...] noticed that my YouTube-hack PHPTube has been nominated for June’s PHP Innovation Award at PHP Classes, cool! weither you’re [...]

Thank you for that great class!!

it’s a good class, but the big problem with it is it’s requirness ! of pear, and not
everybody have it

hm, I thought PEAR is pretty much standard nowadays…I might be wrong though…

hi

i have downloaded the 0.1.2 version of the class from top of this page and i am getting back ‘L PUBLIC ‘.

Has youtube changed again or is this link not to new version ?

Please help.

Best Regards
Richard Moss

@rick moss: the link above should be correct, to make sure check phptube.php for the exact version-info.

also, I just tried it with the supplied demo.3gp-file and it everything seems ok. maybe it’s a matter of your video-file (too large?), my class currently doesn’t parse error message from youtube.

no probs got it working now
thanks

great class !

does this require PHP 5 ? I am running 4.4.6 and get the following error:

http://media.d1tv.net/mark/youtube/phptube.php

thanks
markus

you’re right markus, there are some syntax-problems with PHP 4.x - version 0.1.3 (link above) should fix this… thx!

Hello everyone, I’m wondering how do I upload videos onto youtube. I have a Youtube account but It is so confusing, I Click the Upload at the top right corner of the site but it doesn’t work.

Please give me a reason or how i can do it properly

sorry, derek, if you’re looking for support using youtube, this blog is probably the wrong place … you might wanna try youtube’s helpcenter - http://www.google.com/support/youtube/?hl=en_US

Hi, it’s possible to add a progress bar? i don’t know using a progress script?

Hi again, i added my vote to your phpTube, thaks for you code and works perfect but how can i add a progress bar? can i use a flash uploader with your phpTube? | like the original YouTube uploader | thanks and i will wait for your response and good look with the contest.

there are more scripts for sale on the internet
try search on google…

e.g. this:
http://www.element-it.com/DEMOMULTIPOW.ASPX

even some free if you know flash..

http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/FlashUpload.asp

emm… yes i know but how can i get the upload progress? it’s possible? i use PHP.. thank’s

@orlando: it depends:

a) do you want a progress bar when users are uploading stuff to _your_ server - go with one of the linked solutions
b) do you want a progress bar when youre uploading to _youtbue.com_ - I’m pretty sure that’s impossible…

b) when upload to youtube, but i see in YouTube API support that exist an API to know the uploading progress

can you give me the link to that information?
I’m wondering, since I though YouTube doesn’t provide any API f. uploads, yet…

how to setting PEAR in local web server? I try it, but fail.

Hi,
Sorry I have got a basic question. when we give upload and download interface from our website to upload to youtube whose bandwidth will be consumed?. even though we upload to youtube directly does our web hosting server bandwidth consumed?
I guess we are making a direct socket connection from client to youtube so our bandwidth should not be used right?

please clarify.

thanks
Chandra
