Ryan,
I don't believe you need both the / and the # for delimiters in your
RegEx. Try using just # (since / is actually going to be in the text
you're searching for) like this:
<?php
$data =
file_get_contents("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ2dKXGAjNg");
preg_match('#<title>([^<]*)</title>#iU', $data, $match);
$title = $match[1];
echo $title;
?>
HTH,
