Getting the ID from a YouTube video URL (Field)

[Laurent]

Hello,

I have created a text field to retrieve a URL from youtube but I would like to clean it up and save only the ID of the video in the database.

I have this PHP code :

$pattern = '%(?:youtube(?:-nocookie)?\.com/(?:[^/]+/.+/|(?:v|e(?:mbed)?)/|.*[?&]v=)|youtu\.be/)([^"&?/ ]{11})%i';

 preg_match($pattern, $value, $match);

But I don't know how to add it in a validation rule, does anyone know how to do it?

Thanks.

My new code

// CLEAN UP YOUTUBE ID

public function test(\SimpleXMLElement $element, $value, $group = null, Registry $input = null, Form $form = null)

{

$pattern = '%(?:youtube(?:-nocookie)?\.com/(?:[^/]+/.+/|(?:v|e(?:mbed)?)/|.*[?&]v=)|youtu\.be/)([^"&?/ ]{11})%i';

               preg_match($pattern, $value, $match);

              return true;

}

But this has no effect...

My new code 

// CLEAN UP YOUTUBE ID

public function test(\SimpleXMLElement $element, $value, $group = null, Registry $input = null, Form $form = null)

{

                 $required = ((string) $element['required'] == 'true' || (string) $element['required'] == 'required');

if (!$required && empty($value))

{

return true;

}

                $pattern = '%(?:youtube(?:-nocookie)?\.com/(?:[^/]+/.+/|(?:v|e(?:mbed)?)/|.*[?&]v=)|youtu\.be/)([^"&?/ ]{11})%i';

                if (preg_match($pattern, $value, $match) == true)

{

                                 return true;

                                 echo $match[1];

}

else

{

return false;

}

}

but it's the same, no effects

I found a solution with JS in the field script

jQuery('.js-youtube-vid').on('paste', function () {

    var newval = '';

    $this = jQuery(this);

    setTimeout(function(){ 

        if (newval = $this.val().match(/(\?|&)v=([^&#]+)/)) {

            $this.val(newval.pop());

        } else if (newval = $this.val().match(/(\.be\/)+([^\/]+)/)) {

            $this.val(newval.pop());

        } else if (newval = $this.val().match(/(\embed\/)+([^\/]+)/)) {

            $this.val(newval.pop().replace('?rel=0', ''));

        }

    }, 500);

});
