As a purely theoretical thing, you can replace sections of a string using the str_replace function:

str_replace(
    "https://i.ytimg.com/vi/T0Jqdjbed40/default.jpg",
    "://i.ytimg.com", "://img.example.com");

This will keep the http:// or https:// protocol in place.

For your use case, again purely theoretically, you would want to download the resource yourself, and then provide it to the end user. To get the data using file_get_contents for example:

$data = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/');

You culd then potentially embed the image data directly into the page itself - see this SO question: Can I embed a .png image into an html page?

You should probably check youtube's terms of service before attempting anything...

  • @SameedAlam that's because `https://img.example.com/vi/T0Jqdjbed40/default.jpg` probably doesn't exist, you haven't created it. Try putting it in your web browser - the image needs to link to a file that actually exists. The second half of my answer is important. – enigma Apr 25 '15 at 11:47
