PHP Function to Convert Youtube and Vimeo URLs to Lightbox-Ready Equivalents

youtube-vimeo-embed-urls.php

<?php
/* Forked from : https://gist.github.com/yoanmarchal/4030827 */

/**
 * Given a string containing any combination of YouTube and Vimeo video URLs in
 * a variety of formats (iframe, shortened, etc), each separated by a line break,
 * parse the video string and determine it's valid embeddable URL for usage in
 * popular JavaScript lightbox plugins.
 *
 * In addition, this handler grabs both the maximize size and thumbnail versions
 * of video images for your general consumption. In the case of Vimeo, you must
 * have the ability to make remote calls using file_get_contents(), which may be
 * a problem on shared hosts.
 *
 * Data gets returned in the format:
 *
 * array(
 *   array(
 *     'url' => 'http://path.to/embeddable/video',
 *     'thumbnail' => 'http://path.to/thumbnail/image.jpg',
 *     'fullsize' => 'http://path.to/fullsize/image.jpg',
 *      'embed' => '<iframe src ='' ></iframe>'
 *   )
 * )
 *
 * @param       string  $videoString
 * @return      array   An array of video metadata if found
