I would like to create some simple short url site as tinyurl.com or vilasta.com, where the visitor can create their own short URL or short url with random subdomain, any suggest for free short url script, it must be easy for editing, installing please! maybe with your own experience..
If you know how to use mysql DBs and any web based language you could use the following pseudocode to create your own in an evening no probs: Following pseudocode is for when they enter the URL TAKE USER WEBPAGE INSERT INTO DB RETRIEVE ID OF OBJECT IN DB CONVERT BASE OF ID FROM 10 to 36 OUTPUT THE SHORT URL ("http://yourdomain.com/CONVERTEDID") Code (markup): The following pseudocode is for the page that redirects the shortened URL to the URL they inputted: GET CONVERTED ID FROM URL STRING CONVERT ID FROM BASE 36 TO 10 RETRIEVE URL FROM DB THAT CORRESPONDS TO GIVEN ID REDIRECT USING PHP OR HTML (or similar) Code (markup): Bearing in mind the above assumes that you have the .htaccess convert the "http://yourdomain.com/CONVERTEDID" to "http://yourdomain.com/get_page.php?id=CONVERTEDID" or similar. If this is all greek to you then you may want to start some tutorials, look for a pre-made script or get someone here to knock it up for you. Im sure there are plenty of talented people that could code this in no time for you.
