MiniURL

[gamehead200]

Hey guys,

This is my attempt at creating a simple, easy-to-use URL shortening script. Try it out and let me know if you find any bugs.

http://miniurl.ath.cx/

Obviously, the URL isn't that small, but it'll do for now.

I made one :

http://miniurl.ath.cx/search/

If i am not wrong someone had alredy made this on MSFN.

And let me guess you are using .htaccess to treat http://miniurl.ath.cx/something=search as http://miniurl.ath.cx/search/.

Let me know if i am right.

Nope. Its a simple PHP script I put together.

What do u mean to say u never used mod_rewrite.

Then how on earth did u do that.

Pls tell.

how do you make those?

I wanna try it on my Website http://angry-private.com

Best I can figure is that:

1) it adds the url and the short url to a database then..

2) load the script in place whenever the short url is called and...

3) feed back in the header the real url under the shorturl mask

If your using a php-driven database solution instead of mySql, kudos to you

All in all, nifty script Mine is 'moo'

I used mod rewrite for my sig maker and it was just one line of script in the .htaccess file.

You can check it out at http://esigs.be .

It treats http://esigs.be/sig.png?u=username as:
