Hi,

I want to create a MyCode for URL shortening.

file_get_contents("http://api.bit.ly/v3/shorten?login=mordalum&apiKey={CENSOREDOUT}&uri={$url}&format=txt");

$1 = $url

I need to retrieve the output from the page.

The MyCode that I planned was to be [shorten]http://www.google.com[/spoiler] and the output should be http://j.mp/LmrgCF

Please help me out with this.

Regards,
Mord

<?php
$plugins->add_hook("parse_message", "shorten_run");
    function shorten_info()
{
    return array(
        "name"        => "URL Shortener Script",
        "description"    => "URL Shortener Script",
        "website"        => "http://www.seboard.com",
        "author"        => "Mordalum",
        "authorsite"    => "http://www.seboard.com",
        "version"        => "1.0",
        "guid"        => "",
        "compatibility" => "16*"
    );
}
function shorten_geturl($input){
    $retrieve = file_get_contents("http://api.bit.ly/v3/shorten?login=mordalum&apiKey=R_2734e76af1b52e88f98bcc27cc7a8391&uri={$input}&format=txt");
    return $retrieve;
}
function shorten_run($message) {

global $options;

if($options['allow_mycode'])
{
$message = preg_replace("#\[shorten\](.*?)\[/shorten\]#i", "<a href=\'||1\'>||1</a>", $message);
}
return $message;
}
