Create PHP Code To Perform The Back-End Operations

Create a PHP code that helps to extract the keywords, the following code has two variables $extracted_data and $word_count that store the information regarding keywords and word counts respectively. Create getKeywords() function which executes the prepared URL and returns the JSON file. After the successful execution of the CURL code, it decodes the JSON format file and extracts the required data e.g tags (youtube keywords) then saves it into the $extracted_data variable.

   
 

<?php 
$extracted_data= '';
$word_count='';
if (isset($_POST['getButton'])) {
	$var1=htmlentities($_POST['youtubeData']);
	$var2=str_replace("https://youtu.be/","",$var1);
	if($var2==$var1){
		$var2=str_replace("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=","",$var1);
	}
	
	//echo $var1;
    $extracted_data=getKeywords($var2);
	if(str_word_count($extracted_data)==0){
			$word_count='<h2 style="color:red;!important" >Total Keyword Found : '. str_word_count($extracted_data)."</h2>";
	}
	else{
			$word_count='<h2 style="color:green;!important" >Total Keyword Found: '. str_word_count($extracted_data)."</h2>";
	}

}
function getKeywords($var){
	try{
		$data='';
		$site='https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id='.$var.'&key=AIzaSyAIfYZNM5wRKRr3ZqyentZ_KFBDUapnl84&fields=items(snippet(title,description,tags))&part=snippet';
		
		$ch = curl_init();
		$extracted_data = '';
		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $site);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
        $response = curl_exec($ch);
        
        curl_close($ch);
        
        $data = json_decode($response);
		$value = json_decode(json_encode($data), true);
        if(empty($value['items']))
		{
			$extracted_data='';
			throw new Exception();
			exit;
		}
		else{
			$title = $value['items'][0]['snippet']['title'];
			$data= $value['items'][0]['snippet']['tags'];
			for($i=0; $i<count($data);$i++)
			{
				$extracted_data =($extracted_data.$data[$i].', ');
	
			}
		}
		
		}
		catch(Exception $e){
			echo '<script>alert("unable to get from this url")</script>'; 
		}
	return $extracted_data;
