php string extract

[techu]

how can i extract some a part of a string.

EX: jjZD63BWKgA from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjZD63BWKgA

or xex9vf from http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xex9vf_...http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xex9vf_bipasha-basu-on-aakrosh_

Either through regular expressions (eg preg_match) or finding the positions in the string you want (ie strpos) and extracting a portion of it (substr).

php is very interesting, I have just started playing with php, thanks for helping.
Some of the functions are similar to c and c++..


BTW does file_get_contents or curl work in php template?

If you're referring to my plugin, any valid PHP will work.
