best short url script

hi i am looking for the best tiny url like script preferably free


can somebody help me ?

 

Visit this website http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/other/using-htaccess-files-for-pretty-urls/ and go to 'A Simple URL Shortner' section - this is very simple script, you can write it by yourself.

 

it's good but a little bit simple i am looking for something with admin panel or something like that

or user autentification

 

Have a look here
http:// get-shorty . com/
It's pretty good mate with amazing features mate...

 

I recommend this short url script.

NN

 

get-shorty looks ok but users cannot register to use it


and gentlesource short-url-script it's not free

 

There is one but not free, check here http://www.scriptbaba.com/details-short-url-script-14.html


regards

 

Creating a tiny url script is very basic stuff.

Generate random alpha-num string i.e. aWc8g
Check database to see if 'a@c8g' exists
if No
then write uri and key to db
else Repeat

 

I used this one

http://urlshort.sourceforge.net/

 

lilURL or shorty are probably the ways to go. not sure of any which offer admin panel, unless the two i mentioned have one i didn't notice.

 

try Desi Short URL Script i use that for one of my sites

 

Kissa.be is nice as its layout looks super cool ...

 

details at http://aming.info/short-url-redirecting.html
demo 1. http://www.aming.info/detail/
demo 2. http://www.aming.info/page

 

i think i will use kissa.be

but when i download the script and edit this line:

mysql://userass@localhost/kissa?persist

in config.php

i get this error

I have pretty basic shortening service @ sdmn . info - nothing fancy in my script

 

URL shortening sites are now one of the main security probelms for socila networs such as Twitter. See here:

"In August, the ongoing abuse of shortened-URLs as a delivery mechanism resulted in a number of legitimate URL-shortening services being forced to close their businesses due to their inability to handle the malicious use of their tools," a spokesperson for MessageLabs says. Here are a couple of screenshots from such services:

The most important feature in an URL shortening site is SECURITY.

See: (this is a bit of self promotion here as I own this site but this is a real problem so ....)

i think there is one called get shorty that works good

 

These all look good.

Try bit.ly or tiny.url

 

Why don't try zwap.to url shortener (max 20 chars)?

 

Hi Gents, this is an old thread now, I wonder if anyone can point me towards an uptodate, quality script for tiny url creation. Something with an admin panel for managing and deleting dodgy links is essential, happy to pay.

Thanks
