Get youtube video comment details using PHP

Question

I'm trying to get youtube video comments for a given video using PHP. I'm using Zend framework. Following is my code snippet

$yt = new Zend_Gdata_Youtube();
$feeds = $yt->getVideoCommentFeed($id);  // $id is youtube id
while ($feeds) {
     foreach ($feeds as $idx => $feed) {
          echo $feed->getTitle()."\n"; // work and display the beginning of comment
          $author = $feed->getAuthor(); 
          // how to get author name and/or id?
          $date = $feed->getPublished();
          // how to get the date out if it?

     }
     $feeds = $yt->getVideoFeed($feeds->getNextLink());
}

How can I get author's name/id, published time and other information for each comment? I couldn't find that information from Zend documentation.

Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

$yt = new Zend_Gdata_YouTube();
$commentFeed = $yt->getVideoCommentFeed('abc123813abc');

foreach ($commentFeed as $commentEntry) {
    echo $commentEntry->title->text . "\n";
    echo $commentEntry->content->text . "\n";
    echo $commentEntry->author[0]->name->text. "\n";
    echo $commentEntry->author[0]->uri->text. "\n"; 
    echo $commentEntry->published->text. "\n";
}
