Getting a video from S3 and Uploading to YouTube in PHP

Question

I have some code working that uploads a video file up to YouTube:

$yt = new Zend_Gdata_YouTube($httpClient);

// create a new VideoEntry object
$myVideoEntry = n         


        

Answer 1

The "MediaFileSource" must be a real file. It won't take a URL, so you will need to copy the videos to your server from S3, before sending them to YouTube.

You can probably get away with the "shell_exec" if your usage is light, but for a variety of reasons its probably better to use either the Zend S3 Service, or cURL to pull files from S3.
