I have written a PHP function to take a video embed code that has width and a height and allow you to specify a new width. The function will then scale down the height using the appropriate scaling factor. I discovered that the width and height were not always adjacent so I make a couple of calls which I have a hunch are unnecessary. Is there a better way to/clean up do the following?
function scale_video($video_embed,$new_width = 200){ preg_match('/width="(\d)*"/', $video_embed, $width); preg_match('/height="(\d)*"/', $video_embed, $height); $width = substr($width[0],7,-1); $height = substr($height[0],8,-1); $scale_factor = $new_width/$width; $new_height = floor($height * $scale_factor); $video_embed = preg_replace('/width="(\d)*"/','width="'.$new_width.'"',$video_embed); $video_embed = preg_replace('/height="(\d)*"/','height="'.$new_height.'"',$video_embed); return $video_embed;}
