We know that video ID is 11 chars length and can be preceded by v= or vi= or v/ or vi/ or youtu.be/ So the simplest way to do this:-

PHP Code:-

<?php
if(isset($_POST["Submit"])){
    $url = $_POST["url"];
    preg_match_all("#(?<=v=|v\/|vi=|vi\/|youtu.be\/)[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{11}#", $url, $matches);
echo $matches[0][0];

} 

?>

HTML FORM:- 

<form method="post">

<input type="text" name="url"><br>

<input type="submit" name="Submit">

</form>
