mkoga Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Seems pretty easy to create. You just have to generate a unique url for a user submitted url. When this unique url is hit on your site, search the db for the mapped user submitted url and use header() to redirect to it. You should probably do a 301 redirect.

Northern Flame Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 im not exactly sure how they do it, but one way would be to use mysql and just put an id to a url and have the new url be like http://www.yourwebsite.com/?url=56 (56 would be the id of the url in the database) and then just grabbing the url from the database that is in the same row as the id 56 and then just redirect them to it.

mkoga Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 same basic idea as i had mentioned. here's one way to generate a short unique url. $unique_url = dechex(microtime() * time()); i'm sure theres room for collisions, but it's a start.
