Hi

Okay, I want to create my own MSW-branded tinyurl service, called jive.to!

I've got the domain, but I'm struggling to find a script that will do the job. Basically, take a long url, come up with a short id key, check its not taken, add it to the database, and then present the user with the new url.

Had a go with PHPZLink, but that just seems to break. Anyone know of anything that will do the trick? PHP / ASP.net, doesn't matter which...

Thanks,

Dan

We'll I really haven't looked into this that much sense I have a huge headache but this is what I found on a quick Google search.

TinyURL Clone Script:

Enjoy!
If that is what you don't want then maybe when I get some sleep I'll browse around more.

i dont exactly know what you are asking but couldnt you just do md5('http://www.youtube.com/); then trim it to however many chars you want it, then check and add it to the database. it seems that if you wanted your own tinyurl site, it might be in your best interest to program it yourself?

Well, that would be fine... except that would involve me programming, which is distinctly what i was trying to avoid

Found something which might work, if only I could understand php more...
