Embed YouTube or Vimeo Video From Video URL

Recently I needed to write a function that would parse a Vimeo or YouTube video URL and enable me to embed the video into a WordPress theme.  Vimeo was pretty straight forward as their video links for the most part are pretty standard.  YouTube was a little more difficult as I tried to account for the different domains YouTube would use such as youtu.be.  As a finished product, here is the function I placed in my active WordPress themes function.php file:

function parseVideos($url) {
	//store the URL into a variable
	if (strpos($url, "youtu")) {
		// check for type of youtube link
		preg_match("#(?<=v=)[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(?=&)|(?<=v\/)[^&\n]+(?=\?)|(?<=v=)[^&\n]+|(?<=youtu.be/)[^&\n]+#", $url, $matches);
		 
		$id = $matches[0];
		return $id;
	} elseif (strpos($url, "vimeo.com")) {
		//extract the ID
		preg_match(
			'/\/\/(www\.)?vimeo.com\/(\d+)($|\/)/',
			$url,
			$matches
		);
	 
	$id = $matches[2];
	 
	 
	return $id;
 
	} else {
		return 'We could not parse your video. Please edit the URL';
	}
}

Once that was in place, I used something along the lines of the following to embed the video:

<?php $vidid = parseVideos( get_field('video_url') );
if($vidid !== 'We could not parse your video. Please edit the URL') { 
	if (strpos(get_field('video_url'), "youtu")) { ?>
		<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/<?php echo $vidid; ?>" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
	<?php } elseif(strpos(get_field('video_url'), "vimeo.com")) { ?>
		<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/<?php echo $vidid; ?>" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>
	<?php } else { ?>
		Nothing to show
	<?php } ?>
<?php } else { ?>
	<?php echo $vidid; ?>
<?php } ?>

And that’s your quick snippet of the day!  Hope this helps someone else who is looking to embed a YouTube or Vimeo video based on an inputted URL.
