Need help adding twitter and facebook like buttons

Hello,
I have a shortening service site (www.get.al)
I was thinking to add a twitter button and a facebook button that gets as source the shorted link

The variable for the url is $url
I added for the twitter button

<a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-url="'.$url.'" data-count="vertical">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>

Code (markup):

But it doesnt work, I get the message "'url' parameter does not contain a valid URL."
Havent tried yet for the facebook like button.
What might be the prroblem?

Thank you

 

do urlencode($url)

 

Can you explain it? I didn't understood you

 

What is there to explain ?

You used this code :

<a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-url="'.$url.'" data-count="vertical">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>

PHP:

And I told you to use urlencode($url) right ? That means that the code you've paste will look like :

<a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-url="'.urlencode($url).'" data-count="vertical">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>

PHP:

Is that not obvious ?!

 

Sorry mate, I dont know PHP
I did what you said, buy same result "'url' parameter does not contain a valid URL."

Thank you

 

simple copy and paste the above text in your page.

 

Yes I did that, but it is not working.

 

How do you assign the value to the variable $url ?!?! Don't you read and try to understand what a man is asking you !?

 

Hello again tvoodoo,
Here is the ajax.php http://pastebin.com/nusL5qEX where the shourted URL is created.

I am sorry, but my knowledge in PHP is very low
