i donot have php how to do with html

Works without an issue. Thanks for the video

Can anyone show me his code of init.php

this is not short

you should of used the auto increment for the id instead of the random ID generator

Thank you for the tutorial. Do you have an expanded version for link click tracking and/or including a QR code?

How can we mix letters and numbers in id.

i want a url shortener as a program but i can't find one

Hey marc how to make init.php to connect to our database...plz help!!

Hey marc can you please suggest any way to create init. php

i found a 4chr long url

I'm trying to generate unique file names for image hosting and, while trying to think of a solution, I remembered this video. I just wanted to mention that this is a flawed method. As your shortened URL entries grow, you will start getting duplicates and your overhead will increase exponentially. Don't take this as a critique or anything. In fact, I'm still searching for a solution for generating unique file names / strings every time without having to check for duplicates. Just thought I'd give you and your viewers a heads up.

This is a great tutorial. I actually built a url shortener a while back and you have certainly covered most of the points here. I like your coding style! A shortener is quite a simple sounding project but there are quite a few hurdles along that way.

there is no init.php file in the download and you never show how to make one in the video
