Update order status programmatically in magento

-
We can update order status of product in magento by using this below code. setState() function will do this for us, all we need is just pass the required arguments like state to be updated, status of the state, comment for the status change.


$order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->loadByIncrementId($orderId); 
$state = 'new';
$status = 'label_generated_by_user';
$comment = 'You have generated you shipping label';
$isCustomerNotified = true;
$order->setState($state, $status, $comment, $isCustomerNotified);
$order->save();
$order->sendOrderUpdateEmail(true, $comment);//Sending email notification to customer.


After updating order we can send notification to customer by using sendOrderUpdateEmail().

Convert long url to short url using tinyurl api

-
Tinyurl provides us a short and simple service to convert long URL to small(tiny) URL. We can send email without link breakage. Here is the tinyurl api to get shorten url. You can use any of the method. Method 1: Use file_get_contents to fetch tinyurl. echo file_get_contents('http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=http://www.websnippetz.com'); file_get_contents is not working? If your are able to access php.ini file set allow_url_fopen = On or you can use the below method. Method 2: Use cURL (runs faster than file_get_contents) to fetch tinyurl. function get_tiny_url($url) { $url = "http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url={$url}"; $ch = curl_init(); $timeout = 5; curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout); $data = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); return $data; } echo get_tiny_url('http://www.websnippetz.com');
