Convert Url to Tiny Url
December 22nd, 2009 Posted in Tutorials
Sometimes you need to convert a url to a new one on the fly. Tinyurl offers a very easy to use API to do that. You can do it complicated with curl or you can just use file_get_contents and make it a one line function.
function ShortURL($ToConvert) {
$short_url= file_get_contents(“http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=” . $ToConvert);
return $short_url;
}
Just call it with:
$newurl = ShortURL(‘http://www.linktoshorten.com/itsreallylong’);
