Details

This is second version of the library. Previously, the library used an object-oriented design, but it wasn't very user/developer friendly. A single function approach is much simpler to use and follows design principles of many PHP standard library features.

The first version of the library is available on v1 branch: https://github.com/kukawski/googl-php/tree/v1

The project is now archived, because Goo.gl reached its end of life.

Sample code

define('GOOGL_API_KEY', 'YOUR KEY'); // if want to use API key, define as constant

$shortcut = googl('https://github.com/kukawski/googl-php'); // https://goo.gl/XykKB

if (!$shortcut) {
    $long = googl('https://goo.gl/XykKB', 'expand');
}
