i am trying to make a script that can automatically fetch latest X videos from youtube. i want to get the thumbnail and the embed code of the video and add it to a database table. i am trying to use preg_match_all to do this. i am new to regular expressions so i am having trouble getting it to work.
can anyone give me the code for this script?

Instead of fetching the website contents and trying to parse the data on Youtube, you should work with their API: YouTube APIs and Tools - Google Code

This will allow you to fetch the data you desire from an XML document with relative easy.
