file_get_contents vs cURL

---

In this Post,I will explain difference between file_get_contents and curl.

PHP offers two main options to get a remote file, curl and file_get_contents. There are many difference between the two. Curl is a much faster alternative to file_get_contents.

How To Add Tweeting With Short URL Functionality To A Website (With PHP)

---

There is a 140 character limit in Twitter & the length of the URL is a headache. So, auto-shortening the URL with a short URL service will be handy.

The file_get_contents function of PHP helps us to easily get the short URL as a string. Lets use the TinyURLservice & create a simple function:

<?php
function makeShortURL($URLToConvert) { 
     $shortURL= file_get_contents("http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=" . $URLToConvert); 
     return $shortURL; 
}
?>

calling the function with the URL, like:

<?php echo makeShortURL("http://knowledgecornor.blogspot.in/2013/08/how-to-send-sms-using-php_15.html")?>
