smithmr8 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi, Not quite sure how to explain this in technical terms, but basically what I want to be able to do is allow a user to enter a url like: thisurl.co.uk/UF55fg3 And I am then able to retrieve the value "UF55fg3" in the index page. Like the URL shorteners do. Not sure how to do it though. Cheers.

jonsjava Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 you would first need to learn about htaccess and MOD REWRITE. you can google that. Once you have that, if you have further questions, feel free to ask away. If you want help here regarding mod rewrite, hit up the apache section.
