Regex Vimeo Parser
Today’s Regex is used to parse a string for Vimeo links and extract the Video_ID. Once we have the Video_ID we’re able to create a standard embed code from Vimeo links.
Supported Links:
The following Regex supports these Vimeo links and embed code snippets.
Normal URL: http://vimeo.com/9669721
Group URL: http://vimeo.com/groups/tvc/videos/32626014
New Embed: <iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/9669721?title=0
&byline=0&portrait=0&color=ffffff" width="400"
height="225" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen
mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen > </iframe >
**** Doesn't handle Vimeo's old embed code ****
Again, I’ve broken it up the Regex and commented each line.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 | $regexstr = '~ # Match Vimeo link and embed code (?:<iframe [^>]*src=")? # If iframe match up to first quote of src (?: # Group vimeo url https?:\/\/ # Either http or https (?:[\w]+\.)* # Optional subdomains vimeo\.com # Match vimeo.com (?:[\/\w]*\/videos?)? # Optional video sub directory this handles groups links also \/ # Slash before Id ([0-9]+) # $1: VIDEO_ID is numeric [^\s]* # Not a space ) # End group "? # Match end quote if part of src (?:[^>]*></iframe>)? # Match the end of the iframe (?:<p>.*</p>)? # Match any title information stuff ~ix'; |
Usage Example:
This example function takes an input string and uses the above Regex to parse off the Vimeo Video_ID ($1) and add it to $iframestr to create a standard embed code.
1 2 3 4 5 6 | function ParsePostVimeo($string){ $regexstr = <<REGEX FROM ABOVE>>; $iframestr = ' <p><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/$1?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="500" height="284" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe></iframe></p> '; return preg_replace($regexstr, $iframestr, $string); } |

I began programming in C++ when I was in college. Odd for a business major, but hey I am a Dork. After college I got a job as System Administrator. As a System Administrator I was in charge of web administration. My journey as a PHP web developer had begun. Since that time I have gained an in depth knowledge of CSS, Javascript, XML and MySQL. With changes and advances to technology I have also began learning AJAX. I started Blue Fire Development to do freelance work in my spare time.
Hi,
we’ve revised and tweaked a bit your code to match more vimeo scheme links.
