Post to twitter with short url

[SkillsToShow]

I have been trying to figure this out for a while to no avail. Basically what I want to do is use this code to post to twitter, the problem is I want it to use bit.ly shortener and for that I need to use the code:

 

<?php echo $burl; ?>

 

bit.ly shortener referenced in the end.

 

How would I add it to the code below so it works correctly?

 

function twitterUpdate($postTitle, $postLink, $isNew)
{
// Enter Your Twitter ID Here
$username = 'Twitter_ID';
// Enter Your Twitter Password Here
$password = 'Password';

        # text into a twitter friendly text
$code_entities_match = array('--','"','!','@','#','$','%','^','&','*','(',')','_','+','{','}','|',':','"','<','>','?','[',']','\\',';',"'",',','.','/','*','+','~','`','=');
$code_entities_replace = array('-','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','');
$postTitle = str_replace($code_entities_match, $code_entities_replace, $postTitle);

// Check if New or Updated Post
if($isNew)
	$postTitle = 'New Post: ' . $postTitle;
else
	$postTitle = 'Updated Post: ' . $postTitle;

// Calculate Twitter Msg and keep it under 140 Chars
        if(strlen ($postTitle) > (140 - strlen ($postLink)))
	$postTitle 		= substr_replace($postTitle, '...', (140 - 3 - strlen ($postLink)));

$message = $postTitle . $postLink;

// The twitter API address
$url = 'http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml';
$curl_handle = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, "$url");
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "status=$message");
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
$buffer = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);
}

 

function postToTwitter($post_ID)
{
// Create your Short URL replace with your blog url
$postLink = ' http://clazh.com/?p=' . $post_ID; // Tried replacing this part with $burl; but I get error where the link is supposed to be
// encode the URL to fix Post to Twitter issues
        $postLink = urlencode  ( $postLink ) ; // replaced $postLink here with $burl; but still get the same error
// Get the Post Object
$get_post_info 	= get_post( $post_ID );
// Get the Post Title
$postTitle = $get_post_info->post_title;
        // Get the Post date
$postDate 		= date('U', strtotime($get_post_info->post_date));
// Get the post Modified date
$postModified 	= date('U', strtotime($get_post_info->post_modified));

// Check if the post is new or modified
if($postModified == $postDate)
{
	twitterUpdate($postTitle, $postLink, true);
}
}

// Post to twitter when you publish or update a post
add_action('publish_post', 'postToTwitter');

 

Here is the bit.ly url shortener for your refererance:

function getBitlyUrl($url) {
$bitlylogin = 'my username';
$bitlyapikey= ' my api key';
$bitlyurl = file_get_contents("http://api.bit.ly/shorten?version=2.0.1&longUrl=".$url."&login=".$bitlylogin."&apiKey=".$bitlyapikey);
$bitlycontent = json_decode($bitlyurl,true);
$bitlyerror = $bitlycontent["errorCode"];
if ($bitlyerror == 0) {
$bitlyurl = $bitlycontent["results"][$url]["shortUrl"];
}
else $bitlyurl = "error";
return $bitlyurl;
}
