Short URL
Short URL allows you to create shorter URL’s and keeps track of how many times a link has been clicked. It’s useful for managing downloads, keeping track of outbound links and for masking URL’s.
You could use it to turn this;
to this;
Features include a simple password protected admin page which allows you to add, edit and delete redirecting URL’s as well as clear the counters for every link. You may also add a description to the link which only you can see.

Hi Mark, I would love to see your modified version of the script! :)
Dodgy GeezerI would like to be able to use your scipt but I am wondering two things please:
1. do you have a live demo so I can see what back end looks like?
2. I need a tracker that includes dates – so that I can choose any time period and the stats are given – having stats from the URL creation to present is of no use to me without specific periods.
If this is possible and I can see a back end in motion, I am willing to pay for some modifications to get the dated stats. Please let me know.
thank you
Dodgy GeezerHi Bhinds
We found Harley’s script so nice that we used it to create HideURL. (OpenSource is really great!)
HideURL is build on ShortURL and has a few more features added to it.
It is of course free, just as the script is did grow out from. Credits goes to Harely again!!
You will find the script, a demo and screenshots here:

Thanx !
Dodgy GeezerCool :) Glad you found the script useful. Will have to give it a bash.. I have some links I’d like hidden ;)
The Genuine ArticleI just added a simple search to this script. Again, I’ll be happy to share my code.
Dodgy GeezerI have had this script for a while now and I think it is fantastic, I did not know much about mysql or php before but thanks to harley’s script I have learned a lot, I suggest making a back up copy of the scripts and then open them up in note pad and have a play around, if you mess up simply try something else and sooner or later it will start to work.
I renamed the u.php to movie.php and the path at the top of the script to $Path_To_Script = “http://mysite.com/movie.php”; and now use it to stream wmv videos, it’s great.
And whats more Harley is a wonderful person who actually did some work for me at one time to up date a php.ini on my web site so that I could up load bigger files, and she did it very quickly and charged me almost a 10th of the price that other programmers offered to do the work, so would suggest that if you can’t do it your self ask Harley to do it for you, you won’t get it done quicker or cheaper beleive me.

Dodgy GeezerI’ve been using this for two months now and it’s a great script. It works great. In addition to the modifications above, I’ve made one more…
I added a page limiter on the listed links so in the admin it only shows five links at a time, then you can go to next page, first page, last page. this helps a ton when you have lots of links.
Thanks again.
And I’ll say again, I’ll be happy to upload the code. My code hacks are ugly, but I’m happy to share.
Dodgy GeezerI’m loving this script. One modification that would be great: separating admin area from tinyurl creation.
Dodgy GeezerNice little script. Thanks. It was exactly what I was looking for.
I’m edited it thought to give a few more features. I added a sort order, the ability to optionally add descriptive links (ie http://www.example.com?car rather than http://www.example.com?11) and I altered the code to make it run off my index page rather than calling another page (that saves a few characters and makes it easier to remember).
I’ll be happy to post my altered code if anyone is interested.
Dodgy Geezerhey can u please make it work as batch url shortener i.e we enter 10-15urls and once and we get a 10-15 shorten url’s …please make this
