I'm using this regex for turning a youtube link into embedded code:

str.replace(/(?:http:\/\/)?(?:www\.)?(?:youtube\.com|youtu\.be)\/(?:watch\?)?(?:.+)v=(.+)/g, '<iframe width="420" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/$1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>');

But it doesn't work when youtube link has more than the v-parameter, like

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXVe-efsYWw&feature=g-feat

Can anybody help me to change the regex for cutting any additional parameters off?

    What have you tried? You need to show some research into the matter, we're not here just to do your job for you. – lanzz Sep 04 '12 at 13:06

The best regex I did for that is this one:

~^.*(?:youtu\.be\/|youtube\.com\/(?:[^\?]*\?(?:.*&)?v=|(?:embed|v|user)\/))([^\?&"\'>]{11}).*$~si

Replace it for group 1. (\1 or $1)

Hope it helps. Worked for every youtube URL I got. It don't work for any let me know and I can make it better.
