YouTube API + PHP + site hosting?

Post by lauthiamkok »

Hi,

I have made a site which can pull and upload videos from and to YouTube,
http://www.tole-rants.com/

This site was made with the combination of Python, Google App Engine and YouTube API. It is hosted at Google App Engine. I did not code the main structure of this application bcos I don't speak Python so I was made with a Python programmer. However, we found that this application has been causing lot of problems, especially on uploading videos.

Now I hope I can code the entire site myself with PHP - is it possible?

Another big question - do I have to host this site on Google's?? Can I just host this site on a normal/ standard server which I normally do when I develop a website?

I have read the documentation about YouTube API for developers, but I still cannot get my head around if I want to make this site from scratch with PHP,
http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0 ... tocol.html

It seems to suggest that using a PHP framework - Zend Framework, which I have no clues about it - do I really have to use a PHP framework then?
http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0 ... e_php.html

Any thoughts/ better suggestions or any online tutorials/ books I can follow through?

Many thanks,
Lau
