Youtube API (PHP) - how to add (existing) video to existing playlist?

Question

I am using Youtube API to upload some video, but I can\'t figure out how to add uploaded video to specific playlist. I have searched all over Google and I haven\'t found any

The code in the doc you linked to gives you a starting point:

$postUrl = $playlistToAddTo->getPlaylistVideoFeedUrl();
// video entry to be added
$videoEntryToAdd = $yt->getVideoEntry('4XpnKHJAok8');

// create a new Zend_Gdata_PlaylistListEntry, passing in the underling DOMElement of the VideoEntry
$newPlaylistListEntry = $yt->newPlaylistListEntry($videoEntryToAdd->getDOM());

// post
try {
  $yt->insertEntry($newPlaylistListEntry, $postUrl);
} catch (Zend_App_Exception $e) {
  echo $e->getMessage();
}

Instead of 4XpnKHJAok8 in that example, you'd want to pass in the id of the new video, i.e. the $idv value in your script.

That code assumes that you have a $playlistToAddTo object already, but you probably will have a playlist ID instead. You can modify it to read

$postUrl = sprintf('https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/%s?v=2', $playlistId);

where $playlistId is the ID of the playlist you want to add the video to.
