file_get_contents() doesn't read data for short urls
Example:
Please help me in handle this. OR Is there any CURL function to handle above links?

The file_get_contents() reads a file into a string. This function is the preferred way to read the contents of a file into a string. It will use memory mapping techniques, if this is supported by the server, to enhance performance.
cURL is capable of much more than file_get_contents . That should be enough. FWIW there's little difference with regards to speed.
file — Reads entire file contents into an array of lines. file_get_contents — Reads entire file contents into a string.
This function is similar to file(), except that file_get_contents() returns the file in a string, starting at the specified offset up to length bytes. On failure, file_get_contents() will return false . file_get_contents() is the preferred way to read the contents of a file into a string.
This in general works fine. If you find it doesn't do the right thing you can explicitly use a stream context:
$url = "http://bit.ly/d00E2C";
$context = stream_context_create(array('http' => array('max_redirects' => 5)));
$val = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
should do it. No need to touch CURL for that.

On my machine, I cannot replicate your problem; I receive the page as intended. However, should the issue be with the redirect, this may solve your problem.
<?php
$opts = array(
'http' => array(
'follow_location' => 1,
'max_redirects' => 20
)
);
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
echo file_get_contents('http://wp.me/pbZy8-1WM', false, $context);
I imagine there may be a directive that toggles redirect following, but I have not yet found it. I will edit my answer should I.
