I think it should be something like

if (preg_match('%(?:youtube(?:-nocookie)?\.com/(?:[^/]+/.+/|(?:v|e(?:mbed)?)/|.*[?&]v=)|youtu\.be/)([^"&?/ ]{11})%i', $url, $match)) {
  echo $match[1];
}

Unless you are just trying to get the id then it should be something like

if (preg_match('%(?:youtube(?:-nocookie)?\.com/(?:[^/]+/.+/|(?:v|e(?:mbed)?)/|.*[?&]v=)|youtu\.be/)([^"&?/ ]{11})%i', $url, $match)) {
   $youtube_id = $match[1];
}

but you should not be echoing and setting the value at the same time, this will likely just output true no matter what happens in the match echo $youtube_id = $match[1];
