<?php
//get or create youtube username if( isset($_GET['user']) ){$youtube_user = $_GET['user'];} else {$youtube_user = 'rickrolled';} //create phptube object and get videos include_once("Php5tube.php"); $php5tube = new Php5tube('Video','User','Comment'); $videos = $php5tube->getUserVideos($youtube_user); //dump array of views //var_dump($videos); ?> <html> <head><title></title></head> <body> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <?php foreach($videos as $video) { ?> <tr><td> <div style="padding:2px;"><img src="<?php echo $video['Video']['thumbnail_url1']; ?>"> </div> <div style="padding:2px;"><img src="<?php echo $video['Video']['thumbnail_url2']; ?>"> </div> <div style="padding:2px;"><img src="<?php echo $video['Video']['thumbnail_url3']; ?>"> </div> </td><td> <div style="padding:10px;"> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/<?php echo $video['Video']['youtube_id']; ?>"> <img src="<?php echo $video['Video']['thumbnail_url4']; ?>"> </a> </div> </td> <td> <div style="font-size:16pt;"><?php echo $video['Video']['title']; ?></div> <div><b>Category</b> = <?php echo $video['Video']['category']; ?></div> <div><b>Tags</b> = <?php echo $video['Video']['keywords']; ?></div> <div><b>Description</b> = <?php echo $video['Video']['description']; ?></div> <div><b>Views</b> = <?php echo $video['Video']['view_count']; ?> times</div> <div><b>Marked as favorite</b> = <?php echo $video['Video']['favorite_count']; ?> times</div> </td></tr> <?php } ?> </table> </body> </html> Step 4: Try out the test script
Upload the files 'Php5tube.php' and 'test.php' into the same directory ("php5tube" in this example) on a web server with PHP 5+ running. Then open a browser and visit www.yourdomain.com/php5tube/test.php to see what Php5tube can do.
