Upload to YouTube using Zend - via a proxy - php

Question

I've been successfully uploading videos to YouTube using some code I found (Zend with YouTube API).
I modified it so that I can upload via a proxy server, but I've hit a brick wall. I've commented which lines I added to implement the proxy support. Here is the code:
<?php
require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_YouTube');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_AuthSub');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Http_Client_Exception'); //added for proxy support
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Http_Client'); //added for proxy support
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Proxy'); //added for proxy support
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_App_HttpException'); //added for proxy support
$config = array(
'adapter' => 'Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Proxy',
'proxy_host' => 'MY_PROXY_IP',
'proxy_port' => 8080,
'proxy_user' => 'USER',
'proxy_pass' => 'PASS'
); //added for proxy support
$proxiedHttpClient = new Zend_Gdata_HttpClient('http://www.google.com/', $config); //added for proxy support
try
{
$authenticationURL= 'https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin';
$httpClient = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient(
$username = 'YOUTUBE EMAIL ID',
$password = 'YOUTUBE PASSWORD',
$service = 'youtube',
$client = $proxiedHttpClient, //changed from "$client = null"
$source = 'mysource',
$loginToken = null,
$loginCaptcha = null,
$authenticationURL);
}
catch (Zend_Gdata_App_Exception $e)
{
$arry['data']['flag'] = false;
$arry['data']['msg'] = 'Username or Password Invalid.';
print_r(json_encode($arry));
die();
}
$httpClient->setConfig($config); //added for proxy support
$developerKey='DEVELOPER KEY';
$applicationId = 'not require';
$clientId = 'not require';
$yt = new Zend_Gdata_YouTube($httpClient, $applicationId, $clientId, $developerKey);
$fileName = "FILENAME";
$fileType = "video/mp4";
$newEntry = new Zend_Gdata_YouTube_VideoEntry();
$filesource = $yt->newMediaFileSource($fileName);
$filesource->setContentType('video/mp4');
$filesource->setSlug($fileName);
$newEntry->setMediaSource($filesource);
$newEntry->setVideoTitle("VIDEO TITLE");
$newEntry->setVideoDescription("VIDEO DESCRIPTION HERE");
$newEntry->setVideoCategory("VIDEO CATEGORY HERE");
$newEntry->setVideoTags("VIDEO TAGS");
try {
$newEntry = $yt->insertEntry($newEntry, 'http://uploads.gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/default/uploads', 'Zend_Gdata_YouTube_VideoEntry');
$state = $newEntry->getVideoState();
if ($state)
{
$videourl = $newEntry->getVideoWatchPageUrl();
$arry['data']['flag'] = true;
$arry['data']['url'] = $videourl;
$arry['data']['msg'] = "Video Uploaded Successfully.";
}
else
{
$arry['data']['flag'] = false;
$arry['data']['msg'] = "Not able to retrieve the video status information yet. " ."Please try again later.\n";
}
}
catch (Zend_Gdata_App_Exception $e) {
$arry['data']['flag'] = false;
$arry['data']['msg'] = $e->getMessage();
}
echo "<pre>";
print_r($arry);
?>
When I execute the PHP from the command line, the message it gives back is:
Trying to write but we are connected to the wrong proxy server
The proxies I've been testing with definitely work - in fact, if I use a broken proxy it just says "Username or Password is invalid." I only get the error message above when using working proxies.
Any guidance or solution would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I had the same problem and I found a solution that worked for me. I used the built in cURL Adapter instead of the Proxy adapter.
See my example below...
$config = array(
'adapter' => 'Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Curl',
'curloptions' => array(CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true, CURLOPT_PROXY => "proxy:port", CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD => "username:password")
);

Answer 2

This code is using turned down GData API and deprecated clientlogin
Please update to v3 API, here are PHP examples to get you started.
