Implementing my Javascript function to database query results

Question

I've got my JS function

<html>
  <head>
    <script>
      function createYoutubeEmbedLink(link){
          return link.replace("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=",
                                  "http://www.youtube.com/embed/");
        }
    </script>
  </head>

And I'm trying to get it to work with my query what I'm getting from the database

            while($songs = mysql_fetch_array($data))
        {
            Print "<b>Name (id): </b>" .$songs['id'] . "</br>";
            Print "<b>Url: </b>" .$songs['url'] . "</br>";
            Print "</br>";
        }
    ?>

This will display normal Youtube URLs but I'm trying to add the JS function to it so it would convert it to Youtube Embed video. Where should i put the JS function exactly?

Atm I'm only calling the URL. With this Print "Url: " .$songs['url'] . "";. It's in string format atm. And now i see a problem already. But yeah, link can be changed to string. But the main problem atm is how to modify the url/string. — Martin

Modified my Print URL line: Print "Url: <a href=" .$songs['url'] . ">" .$songs['url'] . "</a>"; — Martin

I don't want to play the embedded video on clicking the url. I don't want an onclick function for it. I would like that the URLs would be converted on load. The embedded code i understand i know how to go on forward after when normal youtube links have been converted to embed URL-s. But i don't understand how i can load my function to do it for the links. — Martin

Ok found a solution. Removed the JS totally. Used str_replace instead Print "Url: " .str_replace('youtube.com/watch?v=','http://www.youtube.com/embed', $songs['url']). ""; — Martin
