Modifying PHProxy to work with Youtube

If you would like to modify PHProxy to be able to view youtube videos, you may not understand PHP enough to modify it to have this functionality. In this guide I will show the logic of creating a plugin and present to you a working plugin for PHProxy to have Youtube Support.

To Begin:

I recommend to use Notepad++ to edit PHProxy source code. So if you do not have that, download and install it.

Once you have done that, open up the file called "index.php" and scroll down to line: 879
Where you will see this.

 // // MODIFY AND DUMP RESOURCE //   
if ($_content_type == 'text/css') {     
$_response_body = proxify_css($_response_body); 
} else {     
 if ($_flags['strip_title']){

   $_response_body = preg_replace('#(<\s*title[^>]*>)(.*?)(<\s*/title[^>]*>)#is', '$1$3', $_response_body);     

} 

This area is called the "preParsing" stage. That is the preparsing of the html begins here, and, this is where you will want to begin creating any plugin. The Variable called $_response_body contains the HTML of the website PHProxy just downloaded. What were going to do is use some Regular expressions to find and remove some parts from the page. Namely we want to find and remove.

• Find the video ID
• Find the T Value
• Remove the noscript messages
• Null out their player

So after line 879 put this code:

/*
Youtube Plugin for PHProxy  ::: PreParsing

it will be useful,but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY
*/

  if($_url_parts['host'] == "www.youtube.com") {
	    
	         // Look for video ID and record it
	if ( preg_match('#\bvideo_id"\s*:\s*[\'"]?([^\'"\s]*)[\'"]#si', $_response_body, $videoId) ) {
	             
               $youtube = $videoId[1];
 
	 }
 
	         // Look for T-value. 
	 if ( preg_match('#\bt"\s*:\s*[\'"]?([^\'"\s]*)[\'"]#', $_response_body, $tValue) ) {
	     
                $tValue = $tValue[1];
	 }
	         
	// Null their player
	$_response_body  = preg_replace('#var\sfo\s\=\swriteMoviePlayer\(\"watch-player-div\"\)\;#', '', $_response_body, 1);
	$_response_body  = preg_replace('#writeMoviePlayer#','',$_response_body, 1);
	// Remove noscript messages
	$_response_body  = preg_replace('#document.write\(\'Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe.*?\<\/a\>.\'\)\;#s', '', $_response_body, 1);
 
	         
   }
// -- End Youtube Plugin
 

Now head to Line 1197 in the code where you see this.

 
$_url_form .= '</form></div>';
$_response_body = preg_replace('#\<\s*body(.*?)\>#si', "$0\n$_url_form" , $_response_body, 1);
 

This area is called the PostParsing area, which means everything is done and we can make final touches to the html document.
Also note this being the Postparsing stage, you can put links or ads here by modying $_response_body with regural expressions and without the phproxy script rewriting your links go to threw the proxy. That is what were going to do here. Were going to use one more regural expression and find there Player div and insert our player into it.

So put underneath     where you see

$_response_body = preg_replace('#\<\s*body(.*?)\>[...]

/*

*/
	    
	    // check if one the variables from the preparsing is set
  if(isset($youtube)) {
 
	         $flv = 'http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=' . $youtube . '&t=' . $tValue;
	         $flv = encode_url($flv);
            
     $player_html = " <embed src=\"/player.swf\" width=\"620\" height=\"380\" bgcolor=\"000000\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\""
	            . "allowfullscreen=\"true\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\""
	            . "flashvars=\"width=620&height=380&type=video&fullscreen=true&volume=100&file=/index.php?q={$flv}&image=\" /><br/>;";

$_response_body = preg_replace('<div id="watch-noplayer-div">', '<div id="watch-noplayer-div">' . $player_html, $_response_body, 1);
	        
   }
// -- End Youtube Plugin
 
 

You are now done. But make sure you also upload the Player.swf to your root directory. You can download the player here.

• File: Player.swf - Right click Save-As

Also as a final note. This has absolutly no file limit usage on it. As phproxy doesn't even have that feature. If PHProxy was using cURL that would easy to implement. But for Fopen I have no idea, that would be for you to figure out.
