PHP preg_replace

[TwistedDictator]

Is it possible to use pre_replace to use on urls? Currently I am trying to get a youtube video and change replace it with the code link , for example using preg_replace:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zgp_G5o6Oc

and changing it to

www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zgp_G5o6Oc 

Would love the help

what's your input? i imagine you have a long string (e.g. a forum post) and you want to make all youtube references into clickable links?

This should do the trick (it can also take the youtu.be links)

$content = "www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zgp_G5o6Oc";$content = preg_replace_callback('/(?:www\.)?youtu(?:be\.com\/watch\?v=|\.be\/)([\w\-]+)(&(amp;)?[\w\?=]*)?/', function($matches){ return "[video]{$matches[0]}[/video]"; }, $content);
