Important Announcement

I don't really use this project anymore, so I will not improve this project.

For me, this project is finished and feature completed, since I want a REALLY simple URL shortener.

If you want improvements, fell free to fork it. If I see a new good fork, I will write it here. If you want a better shortener, you can search on the awesome-selfhosted page

See https://github.com/azlux/Simple-URL-Shortener/issues/15 if you want to give me feedback.

The source of this project is https://git.azlux.fr/azlux/Simple-URL-Shortener, PR are accepted on the source only.

Simple shortener working with MySQL or SQLite database in PHP. The goal is to create a simple and KISS shortener without dependencies. The user can add comments for the link to find it faster into its history.

Nice shortcut added. The shortcut will create a new short url of your current page when you click on it. Writed to work into subfolder. (don't need to be at the root)

Installation :

• clone this project
• Copy inc/config.example.php to inc/config.php
• Set you config file
• Call installation.php to setup the database
• delete installation.php
• Create a user, the first one will be an admin (allow you to see no connected shorted links)
