That should work, it might be a little overkill with all the valid character checking though :P

You could also:

$arr = explode('=', $youTubeURL);

and validate just the portion you want:

$linkCode = $arr[count($arr)-1];

While that wouldn't work with the last case you posted you could just do a:

$youTubeUrl = str_replace('/', '=', $youTubeUrl);

before hand since you don't care what the domain is anyway... It would definitely be much faster than using regex, parsing wise :P
