Here is self-explanatory PHP function that will help you to generate Social Sharing links easily.

function share($to, $title, $url)
{	$url = urlencode($url);	$title = urlencode($title);	switch ($to) {	case 'facebook':	return " onclick=\"javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;\" href=\"http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=$url&title=$title\" ";	break;	case 'twitter':	return " onclick=\"javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;\" href=\"http://twitter.com/home?status=$title+$url\" ";	break;	case 'google+':	return " onclick=\"javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;\" href=\"https://plus.google.com/share?url=$url\" ";	break;	case 'tumblr':	return " onclick=\"javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;\" href=\"http://www.tumblr.com/share?v=3&u=$url&t=$title\" ";	break;	case 'pintrest':	return " onclick=\"javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;\" href=\"http://pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?url=$url&is_video=false&description=$title\" ";	break;	case 'linkedin':	return " onclick=\"javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;\" href=\"http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=$url&title=$title\" ";	break;	case 'reddit':	return " onclick=\"javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;\" href=\"http://www.reddit.com/submit?url=$url&title=$title\" ";	break;	case 'stumbleupon':	return " onclick=\"javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;\" href=\"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=$url&title=$title\" ";	break;	default:	return "";	break;	}
}

To use it, just call the the function with appropriate params

echo share("facebook", "Page Title", "http://page.com/link.html");
