How to read Youtube url from database? - php

Question

I am reading my database that contains various columns along those a varchar(500) named video_games_trailer that has the url's of youtube videos. So far everything is displaying fine but in the position that the video should be I get the following:
Not Found
The requested URL /Project/<embed width= was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an
ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I am displaying the columns with the code below
<?php while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){?>
<tr>
<td><iframe width="560" height="315" frameborder="0"
allowfullscreen src="<?php echo
$row['video_games_trailer'];?>"></iframe></td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
In the database I 've put
<embed width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/whatever">
Wherever I looked that was the proposed method, am I missing something and what can I do to fix this?

Answer 1

It looks as though if you're storing
<embed width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/whatever">
you should in fact be echoing out the following
<?php while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo
$row['video_games_trailer'];?>"></td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
However, you're better off just storing say the watch ID part of the URL or just the URL.
