I am looking for a PHP function that creates a short hash out of a string or a file, similar to those URL-shortening websites like tinyurl.com
The hash should not be longer than 8 characters.

URL shortening services rather use a auto incremented integer value (like a supplementary database ID) and encode that with Base64 or other encodings to have more information per character (64 instead of just 10 like digits).
