Have you used TinyUrl.com to shorten long URLs? Shorty is a similar script that you can install on your server and shorten those long urls under your own domain name.
You can test the demo here http://get-shorty.com/live and download the script itself here http://get-shorty.com/
Thanks for the Shorty link, very cool resource!
You are welcome.
cool man thanks for the script

Check out: http://traceurl.com
TraceURL shortens any URL plus it tracks traffic to the page through the TraceURL shortened web site address, showing where the traffic originated. This can be a useful tool for anyone trying to track which promotional tactics are working the best. Count accesses and have the origin of the visitor displayed on a Google Map.
Thats a great one and surprisingly its totally free, thanks man :) and thanks to get-shorty
Is there some guide on how to install it. Being a newbie, much of what is contained in the guide is pretty hard to understand.
But this is a great resource
This script is woderful, im gonna try and mold it into a membership script
I couldnt get this to work. Everything loads up ok and functions within the system, but the short URL’s dont actually work. This script hasnt been updated in forever, I am running newer PHP5, not sure if that is causing the problem. Would be nice to see this updated, as it seems very cool but its just beta. Sad.
Thanks you very much. very useful script.
one question, does it require database?
yes you will need database
Easy setup and it’s working great.. thanks for writing a great script.
I have the same problems as Daniel.
When I create a shorty
for example http://www.zd.se/idg
i got the following error message when I write it in a browser:
Not Found
The requested URL /www/webvol2/x9/14g0ihhhktan6qo/zd.se/public_html/forward.php was not found on this server.
Apache/1.3.41 Server at http://www.zd.se Port 80
It seems like my webhotel interprets the rewrite to the whole path
/www/webvol2/x9/14g0ihhhktan6qo/zd.se/public_html/forward.php
not only to
http://www.zd.se/forward
Can I change the .htaccess or something else to get this work?
