// This is the youtube video URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOHHta68DdU
$code = "nOHHta68DdU";
// Get video feed info (xml) from youtube, but only the title | http://php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php
$video_feed = file_get_contents("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?v=2&q=".$code."&max-results=1&fields=entry(title)&prettyprint=true");
// xml to object | http://php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-load-string.php
$video_obj = simplexml_load_string($video_feed);
// Get the title string to a variable
$video_str = $video_obj->entry->title;
// Output
echo $video_str;
