// add it to config file:
$google_key = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";

// add this to libs file:
function shorten($url) {
    $gurl = "https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url?key=" . $GLOBALS['google_key'];
    $url  = json_encode(array("longUrl" => $url));
    $ch   = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $gurl);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Accept: appliaction/json", "Content-Type: application/json"));
    
    $r = json_decode(curl_exec($ch));
    return $r->id;
}

// example usage:
$short_url = shorten("https://gist.github.com/gists/1500809");

Very cool, but appliaction/json should be application/json
