@D – sure you don’t need to install the entire framework, … actually you can use it more like a library without the MVC, as you said.
However it was my case – I already had ZF installed 😉

Another point if you intend just reading the public feeds you dont need to enter any parameter for the GData_YouTube constructor – you dont need a developer key or an object of the ClientLogin

You really dont need to install the whole framework just to use the component. All you need is the Loader component and you will be ready to go. You might have to download the whole framework though and just copy the components you need out of it. ZF is a fully decoupled Framework. and on the head of your script you can include the necessary class files as shown below:

require_once 'Zend/Loader.php'; 
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_AuthSub');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_YouTube');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Uri_Http');

Well if you’d like to use Zend_Gdata you’ve to install Zend Framework first. However here is not shown how to upload videos, but how to access them via the gdata protocol. You’ve to search the ZF docs for more information.

So this is a really stupid ques. I’m trying to figure out how to upload videos to youtube through php api.

Am I suppose to first install the zend framework, and then put in the code you showed above to connect to youtube and start working with there services?

@theodor – the thing you miss is the first parameter of Zend_Gdata_YouTube constructor. Note that its default value is null, but you’ve to write it even than.

The code should be changed to:
$gdata = new Zend_Gdata_YouTube(null, ‘project’, null, $key);

hope this helps!

sure,

// 1. setup API key
$key = ‘…’;

// 2. retrieve videos via GData Atom
$gdata = new Zend_Gdata_YouTube(‘project’, null, $key);
