Bit.Ly (Simple Integration)

Question

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the simplest way to implement the Bit.Ly URL shortening service into my website (using PHP). I have a form, that needs to work with the URL shortener, and if the shortened link could be saved as a variable? I've tried to follow the official documentation but I feel it's very blunt.
