phpYtSite

phpYtSite is a PHP solution for YouTube content syndication.

It enables you to create your own video website using multimedia content syndicated from YouTube; I developed this script initially for my Euro 2008 videos website (which also serves as a demo).

This script makes use of the YouTube API in order to receive the latest videos with specific tags we want to incorporate in our sites.

Requirements

As the name suggests, phpYtSite requires PHP support and access to a MySQL database, basically you get this on any LAMP platform.

You do not need an YouTube API Key since it uses the latest GDATA API.

phpYtSite is in its early stages so there are a limited number of features included now, however enough to ran a video site.
