using urlB.org API from PHP

If you are interested to use the urlB.org API from within PHP, here is a simple wrapper.

First download urlborg.php (and, of course, make sure you have your API key).

Now, creating short URLs and getting info about them is easy. Here is an example:

require_once 'urlborg.php' ;
$ub = new urlBorg('use your API key here') ;
$info = $ub->get_info('lgfy') ;
if ($ub->get_error()) {
   echo 'ERROR! Code:' . $ub->get_error('n') .
   ' desc:' . $ub->get_error('s') ;
} else {
   print_r($info) ;
}
$short = $ub->create_new('http://vrypan.net/') ;
if ($ub->get_error()) {
    echo 'ERROR! Code:' . $ub->get_error('n') .
    ' desc:' . $ub->get_error('s') ;
} else {
    print_r($short) ;
}
