How to insert Youtube Videos

@mccoAug 30.2012

I have created a forum and I am still adding different functions to it. I would like to give my users the ability to add Youtube links that would play directly in my forum. Does anyone have a script or have any suggestions on how to go about coding this in php. I coded the entire forum in php. I didnt want to use the software because I wanted my forum to be completely unique. Any help or suggestions would be great.

@mccoauthorAug 30.2012 — #Well I have this function I found that turns the links into <a href but now instead of printing the hyperlink it is printing the html in the forum. Here is the function I found if anyone can help me figure out how to have it show up as a hyperlink instead of printing the <a href... that would be great.

[code=php]
 
 function make_url($str) {
 $msg = ' ' . $str;
 $msg = preg_replace("#(^|[n ])([w]+?://[^ "nrt<]*)#is", "$1'<a href="$2" target="_blank">$2</a>'", $msg);
 $msg = preg_replace("#(^|[n ])((www|ftp).[^ "tnr<]*)#is", "$1'<a href="http://$2" target="_blank">$2</a>'", $msg);
 $msg = preg_replace("#(^|[n ])([a-z0-9&-_.]+?)@([w-]+.([w-.]+.)*[w]+)#i", "$1'<a href="mailto:$2@$3">$2@$3</a>'", $msg);
 $msg = substr($msg, 1);
 
   return($msg);
 [/code]

[CODE]<?php
 preg_match(
 '/[\?\&]v=([^\?\&]+)/',
 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzHvVoUGTOM&feature=channel',
 $matches
 );
 // $matches[1] should contain the youtube id
 ?>
 [/CODE]
