I was searching for a simple script which would allow me to download videos from youtube using php. I did find some implementation but only one of them worked and it used Pear. So here is a simple script to help you download videos from youtube. Allows you to download restricted videos too by logging into youtube.
The script is a simple youtube class which uses CURL.
Sample usage of the youtube class -
include(’curl.php’);
include(’youtube.php’);
$tube = new youtube();
// Only required for restricted videos
// $tube->username = “userid”;
// $tube->password = “password”;
$download_link = $tube->get($_POST['url']);
Getting the following Error
Error locating download URL.

Why don’t work ? How to fix it ?
Hi guys.

I have tested and I cannot see any error. Works well.

I think you have not sent php_curl option in php.ini file.
If you are using WAMP server then goto system tray WAMP icon->PHP extensions->select PHP_curl
OR
edit php.ini file in your php server folder find PHP_curl and remover semi-colon (;) near it and save the file.Restart your server and check the code again.
Tell me if this is working
