Looking for URL shortening scripts/software - Grizzly - 10-11-2009
As the title says, I'm looking for a decent URL shortening script/software that can be freely used by other people. Been Googleing for hours now and can't really find anything decent that I can get to wrok lol.

Simple google search did that for me.
If you want a custom one and your willing to pay, I can make one for you. Otherwise use that free one.

You can do that with an ".htaccess" file.

Or you can use websites like

I prefer .htaccess file.

I am trying to provide the service to people. Free of charge. Mainly to be used with my forum by them for things like their signatures, but, anyone around the world can use it for all I care. Using TinyURL won't do that

htaccess is then what you'll need
here is a good tutorial about short urls with htaccess

Yeah, stupid htaccess >< I found a good one, for some reason my smart self never thought of using hotscripts.com
Well, here is a link to what I used http://www.hotscripts.com/listing/sourcecrave-url-shortener-script/
Some knowledge of SQL queries required. As in, copy and paste the one they provide into phpmyadmin lol.
Some knowledge of PHP required, as in type your DB name, DB User, and password into provided areas that anyone that knows a little bit about reading any type of code could figure out.
