/**
* Given a string containing any combination of YouTube and Vimeo video URLs in
* a variety of formats (iframe, shortened, etc), each separated by a line break,
* parse the video string and determine it's valid embeddable URL for usage in
* popular JavaScript lightbox plugins.
*
* In addition, this handler grabs both the maximize size and thumbnail versions
* of video images for your general consumption. In the case of Vimeo, you must
* have the ability to make remote calls using file_get_contents(), which may be
* a problem on shared hosts.
*
* Data gets returned in the format:
*
* array(
* array(
* 'url' => 'http://path.to/embeddable/video',
* 'thumbnail' => 'http://path.to/thumbnail/image.jpg',
* 'fullsize' => 'http://path.to/fullsize/image.jpg',
* )
* )
*
* @param string $videoString
* @return array An array of video metadata if found

How to use this
I have tried

$text = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIpe1OVbQpU";

echo parseVideos($text);

But it did not work
