How do I get the Video Id from the URL? (DailyMotion) - php

Question

Example:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4xvnz_the-funny-crash-compilation_fun
How do I get x4xvnz?

Answer 1

You can use basename [docs] to get the last part of the URL and then strtok [docs] to get the ID (all characters up to the first _):
$id = strtok(basename($url), '_');

Answer 2

/video\/([^_]+)/
should do the trick. This grabs in the first capture all text after video/ up till the first _.

Answer 3

preg_match('#<object[^>]+>.+?http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/video/([A-Za-z0-9]+).+?</object>#s', $dailymotionurl, $matches);
// Dailymotion url
if(!isset($matches[1])) {
preg_match('#http://www.dailymotion.com/video/([A-Za-z0-9]+)#s', $dailymotionurl, $matches);
}
// Dailymotion iframe
if(!isset($matches[1])) {
preg_match('#http://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/([A-Za-z0-9]+)#s', $dailymotionurl, $matches);
}
$id = $matches[1];

Answer 4

I use this:
function getDailyMotionId($url)
{
if (preg_match('!^.+dailymotion\.com/(video|hub)/([^_]+)[^#]*(#video=([^_&]+))?|(dai\.ly/([^_]+))!', $url, $m)) {
if (isset($m[6])) {
return $m[6];
}
if (isset($m[4])) {
return $m[4];
}
return $m[2];
}
return false;
}
It can handle various urls:
$dailymotion = [
'http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2jvvep_coup-incroyable-pendant-un-match-de-ping-pong_tv',
'http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2jvvep_rates-of-exchange-like-a-renegade_music',
'http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2jvvep',
'http://www.dailymotion.com/hub/x2jvvep_Galatasaray',
'http://www.dailymotion.com/hub/x2jvvep_Galatasaray#video=x2jvvep',
'http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2jvvep_hakan-yukur-klip_sport',
'http://dai.ly/x2jvvep',
];
Check out my github (https://github.com/lingtalfi/video-ids-and-thumbnails/blob/master/testvideo.php), I provide functions to get ids (and also thumbnails) from youtube, vimeo and dailymotion.

<?php
$output = parse_url("http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4xvnz_the-funny-crash-compilation_fun");
// The part you want
$url= $output['path'];
$parts = explode('/',$url);
$parts = explode('_',$parts[2]);
echo $parts[0];
