Youtube script to automatically look for a new video?

[eternalsolitude]

I'm kinda new to programming, I know a little of the basic three languages (html, javascript,css) and some php. I'm wondering if there is a way to automatically make a link to a video or embed when it is uploaded, or is this only able to be done manually? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I looked into google api, apparently you need access to php.ini, so I guess this idea is out.

You can use a javaScript RSS feed reader for this. This link will detail YouTube's RSS system: http://www.youtube.com/t/rss_feeds

There won't be any need for PHP, unless you decide you want to do the fetching, parsing, and displaying through PHP instead of jScript.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I found their json API, and now have it working. :smile:
