parse_str(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY), $values);
if (isset($values['v'])) {
    echo $values['v'];
}

  • I like your code but not yet test. Would you plz explain it more? – Jibon May 02 '12 at 03:57
  • Well, please read the manual. `parse_url` parses the URL into separate pieces, `parse_str` parses the query string part of the URL into separate values. – deceze May 02 '12 at 04:10
  • Thanks for reply. One more question can i use $values['v'] directly in function & print because the url will be $_POST to this page. – Jibon May 02 '12 at 04:15
  • Sorry, not getting what you're asking. `$values['v']` will be a regular variable like any other variable. – deceze May 02 '12 at 04:20
  • whatever variable you want to put in can be there as the 2nd parameter for parse_str(). doesn't have to be $values. – Jim Michaels May 02 '12 at 06:25

<?php echo $_GET["v"]; ?>

This should return what is stored in the v= parameter

EDIT: I should note that this only works if your script is receiving the parameters as part of the get request. Not if you are trying to just parse it as text.

<?php
$url = "http://m.youtube.com/watch?gl=US&v=q07isX-Q1-U";
print_r(parse_url($url));
$str= parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH);

parse_str($str);
echo $gl;  // US
echo $v; // q07isX-Q1-U

parse_str($str, $output);
echo $output['gl'];  // US
echo $output['v']; // q07isX-Q1-U
?>
