URL Shortener
To shorten the link, open the file https://cutt.ly/api/api.php remotely (eg via the php file_get_contents), and in the parameters: short enter the address to be shortened, name specify the preferred shortening of the link.
example:
$json = file_get_contents(https://cutt.ly/api/api.php?key=[API_KEY]&short=[URL_YOU_WANT_SHORTEN]&name=[CUSTOM_URL_ALIAS]);
As a reply, string json will be sent. It should then be decoded using the php function $data = json_decode ($json, true)
In this way, an array with information about the shortened link will be returned: $data["url"]
$data["url"]["status"] in the case of shortening can return 5 values:
1: the shortened link comes from the domain that shortens the link, i.e. the link has already been shortened.
2: the entered link is not a link.
3: the preferred link name is already taken
4: Invalid API key
5: the link has not passed the validation. Includes invalid characters

$data["url"]["fullLink"] - original link
$data["url"]["title"] - website title
