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

Don't have enough reputation points yet to comment, but I got this working fine by replacing the line:

echo 'Shortened URL is: '.$json->id;

with:

$shortLink = get_object_vars($json);
echo "Shortened URL is: ".$shortLink['id'];

It could be just my php installation, but the original line kept throwing a 500 Internal Error for me.
