url shortening can now be easily added to your applications, just pass on the url, though the api only accepts a URL at this point, and of course features will be added as day passes. and as it is needed.

i created a small PHP function that can show how you can add the service to your applications or blogs.

function get_short_url($url){
$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 5;
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,’http://edb.in/api.php?url=’.$url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $data;
}

have fun!

today, we launched the edbin URL shortner, well, truth is, the domain edb.in has been idle for quite some time, so i beleive it would be worth to serve something. This will be my first ever useful web service! ( i hope it is really helpful lol )

I hope someone other than me uses it, and suggest other features that may be helpful.

suggestions, critics, what ever, are all welcome, nothing to lose, have fun everyone!

The service is available here: http://edb.in
