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)
