PHP YouTube API, get upload status - php

Question

I'm having a heck of a time trying to get the status of a uploaded video to YouTube. I've followed the bellow URL to setup a CRON job that would send videos to YouTube, get a response; preferably with the YouTube ID so I can save this in a database. Down side is I can not get this to work.
http://framework.zend.com/manual/1.12/en/zend.gdata.youtube.html
My Code: (Which is basically copy and past from the above URL)
function upload($filename, $options = array()) {
$default = array_merge(
array(
'username' => 'USERNAME',
'password' => 'PASSWORD',
'service' => 'youtube',
'client' => null,
'source' => 'YouTube Component',
'loginToken' => null,
'loginCaptcha' => null,
'authenticationURL' => 'https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin',
'applicationId' => 'YouTube Component',
'clientId' => 'YouTube Component',
'developerKey' => 'DEVELOPERS-KEY',
'content_type' => 'video/quicktime',
'title' => null,
'description' => null,
'category' => null,
'tags' => null,
),
(array)$options
);
extract($default);
$this->controller->Zend->loadClass('Zend_Gdata_YouTube');
$this->controller->Zend->loadClass('Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin');
$httpClient = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient(
$username,
$password,
$service,
$client,
$source,
$loginToken,
$loginCaptcha,
$authenticationURL
);
$yt = new Zend_Gdata_YouTube($httpClient, $applicationId, $clientId, $developerKey);
$myVideoEntry = new Zend_Gdata_YouTube_VideoEntry();
$filesource = $yt->newMediaFileSource($filename);
$filesource->setContentType($content_type);
$filesource->setSlug($filename);
$myVideoEntry->setMediaSource($filesource);
$myVideoEntry->setVideoTitle($title);
$myVideoEntry->setVideoDescription($description);
$myVideoEntry->setVideoCategory($category);
$myVideoEntry->SetVideoTags($tags);
$myVideoEntry->setVideoPrivate();
$uploadUrl = 'http://uploads.gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/default/uploads';
try {
$newEntry = $yt->insertEntry($myVideoEntry, $uploadUrl, 'Zend_Gdata_YouTube_VideoEntry');
} catch (Zend_Gdata_App_HttpException $httpException) {
echo $httpException->getRawResponseBody();
} catch (Zend_Gdata_App_Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
try {
$control = $myVideoEntry->getControl();
} catch (Zend_Gdata_App_Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
if ($control instanceof Zend_Gdata_App_Extension_Control) {
if ($control->getDraft() != null && $control->getDraft()->getText() == 'yes') {
$state = $myVideoEntry->getVideoState();
if ($state instanceof Zend_Gdata_YouTube_Extension_State) {
print 'Upload status: ' . $state->getName() .' '. $state->getText();
} else {
print 'Not able to retrieve the video status information' .' yet. ' . "Please try again shortly.\n";
}
}
}
}
The above works in every way, minus the fact that I always get "Not able to retrieve the video status information...". What am I doing wrong? I've been staring at this for hours so I imagine its something simple that I've missed.

I wasn't to terribly far off with completing this. The answer was to replace all of the return code with (customized a bit because I need a return value as this is a CakePHP component.):
$state = $newEntry->getVideoState();
if ($state) {
$response['id'] = $newEntry->getVideoId();
} else {
$response['error'] = "Not able to retrieve the video status information yet. " .
"Please try again later.\n";
}
return $response;
