1. Download and extract the files to your web directory.
2. Add a rewrite rule to your server:
For Apache, edit your .htaccess file with the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [QSA,L]
For Nginx, add the following to your server declaration:
server {
location / {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1;
}
}
3. Configure your Database credentials and other settings in the config.php file
4. To use the recaptcha, you need to get a site key and secret key from here and replace the xxxxxxxx in the recaptcha div <div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="xxxxxxxxxx" data-callback="verifyCaptcha"></div> in shorten.html with your site key.
Simply head to your Shorty installation from your browser and navigate to /shorten.html for the simple interface.
To generate a short URL, simply pass in a url query parameter to your Shorty installation:
http://example.com/?url=http://www.google.com
This will return a shortened URL such as:
http://example.com/9xq
When a user opens the short URL they will be redirected to the long URL location.
By default, Shorty will generate an HTML response for all saved URLs.
You can alter the response format by passing in a format query parameter.
http://example.com/?url=http://www.google.com&format=text
The possible formats are html, xml, text, and json.
By default anyone is allowed to enter a new URL for shortening. To restrict the saving of URLs to certain IP addresses, use the allow function:
$shorty->allow('192.168.0.10');
- PHP 5.1+
- PDO extension
- MySQL or SQLite database
I am working on a simple admin panel for shorty.
I will release it when it's done.
