You can use preg_match():

$u1="http://vimeo.com/24456787";
$u2="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rj18UQjPpGA&feature=player_embedded";

if(preg_match('/http:\/\/(www\.)*vimeo\.com\/.*/',$u1)){
    // do vimeo stuff
    echo "Vimeo URL found!\n";
}

if(preg_match('/http:\/\/(www\.)*youtube\.com\/.*/',$u2)){
    // do youtube stuff
    echo "YouTube URL found!\n";
}
