Google API - URL Shortener with PHP

Question

My code is below. The URL shortening service works, but it doesn\'t when I insert my $POST. Does anyone know how to fix this my looking at the code?

Answer 1

you are passing the php variable between the single quotes so it will not be parsed. pass it between double quotes like

$longUrl = "http://www.mysite.com/XXXXX/XX/$_POST['qrname']";

OR concatinate like this

$longUrl = 'http://www.mysite.com/XXXXX/XX/'.$_POST['qrname'];
