Shorter Links

Yes it's another shorter links, I tried to leave it as simple as possible so as to make it usable and understandable by as many people as possible.

Live Demo:

You can test the it on THIS SITE!

ShorterURL_test.gif

Features:

  • Same output in case of same input link

  • Possibility to create almost 100 million short links (99795696 to be precise)

  • Checks on user input:

    • The user must actually enter a valid URL

    • The URL entered must be at least 22 characters (protocol included) otherwise it would be shorter than the exit short link

  • The site is responsive

  • Button to copy the short link

  • Prevent SQL injection

Note:

Due to how the database and the scripts have been structured, these features can be easily added:

  • Custom short link (Ex: ed0.it/google)

  • Elimination of short links after a certain time

Prerequisites:

  • PHP

  • A site (obviously)

  • A database (I use MySQL)

Installation:

  1. Create a database with a table called "associations" with this schema:

    code link data
    varchar() varchar() timestamp 
    CREATE TABLE `associations` (
  `code` varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
  `link` varchar(767) DEFAULT NULL,
  `data` timestamp NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  UNIQUE (`code`),
  UNIQUE (`link`)
);

  2. Edit index.php with the database login credentials you just created

  3. Replace in the various files the word "xx.xx" with your site, in my case it was "ed0.it"

  4. Insert the .htaccess and redirect.php into the site root

  5. Create a sub folder called sl

  6. Insert the index.php, result and style.css into the sub folder sl

  7. That's all folks!
