Catch first image or video and return

  • I want to use the function catch_that_image() but modify it so it will catch that first image or youtube video and return it all in the same function. Also want to append ?enablejsapi=1 to the end of the youtube url.

    So <?php echo catch_that_image() ?> will get the first image or youtube video

    Trying to integrate it will my flex slider

    Current image only function

    function catch_that_image() {
  global $post, $posts;
  $first_img = '';
  ob_start();
  ob_end_clean();
  $output = preg_match_all('/<img.+src=[\'"]([^\'"]+)[\'"].*>/i', $post->post_content, $matches);
  $first_img = $matches[1][0];

  if(empty($first_img)) {
    $first_img = "/path/to/default.png";
  }
  return $first_img;
}

    Found this function to grab the video but doesn’t seem to be working how can I combine the two and get them working?

    function catch_video() {
  global $post, $posts;
  $first_vid = '';
  ob_start();
  ob_end_clean();
  $output = preg_match_all('/<iframe.+src=[\'"]([^\'"]+)[\'"].*>/i', $post->post_content, $matches);
  $first_vid = $matches [1] [0];

  if ($output == '1') {
  echo '<iframe width="450" height="310" src="';
  echo $first_vid;
  echo '" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>';
  }
}
