Hello, I'm modifying some code that scans through an html document, and converts YouTube links to a URL of our server with $replacement1+ the YouTube ID as a URL parameter "url" (which you can see in the last line).  Everything seems ok, I just can't figure out the line for $pattern1.  I've tried probably 100 things with no luck.  I've left it here as ??????????? so it shows up well.  As you can see the embed src shows up in the $2 string.  The language I'm using is PHP. 

An example YouTube Embed URL is:

http://www.youtube.com/v/i4dLGAx2Q_s&hl=en

...and if everything works right it should convert to... 

http://video.-------------.com/wsw?ct=Video&url=http://youtube.com/watch?v=i4dLGAx2Q_s   

...where i4dLGAx2Q_s is the piece I need to send as that URL parameter in the last line below. (It appears YouTube IDs can be alphanumeric + underscores and possibly dashes.)

Thank you so much. I've been kicking this around for two days and I've had no luck. :( -Jason
