What am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to detect if a Youtube video is valid, but they are all invalid

I can't work out what's wrong with the preg_match.

PHP Code:


else if( !preg_match( "/http:\/\/(.*)youtube(.*)\/watch?v=(.*)/", $yturl ) ) {
    echo "<div class=\"regerror\">Invalid Youtube URL</div>";
}
