Create Is.Gd url

 / Published in: PHP
 

URL: http://davidwalsh.name/isgd-url-php

Is.Gd is a URL-shortening service much like TinyURL. Using PHP’s cURL library, you can create shortened URLs on the fly with ease. “is.gd” is much shorter than “tinyurl.com” so if you need the URL to be as short as possible, use this method. Create tinyurl.com urls : http://snipplr.com/view/11601/create-tinyurl/
