Good Night,
Here I will show you how to create your own url shortener.
First of all you need to create a table like this:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `urls` (
`uid` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`url` text default NULL,
`unique_chars` varchar(25) BINARY NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`uid`),
UNIQUE KEY `unique_chars` (`unique_chars`)
);
This code was taken from Abhise in this post “Create your own tinyurl with php and mySQL” that was my bigest reference, from it I took some functions and update other ones to be more efficient. For an example I changed the field to BINARY so it be CASE SENSITIVE (aaaa different from AAAA)
The Abhise says to create many files, I particularly, created one file with all functions where I add all the functions and just called the functions in the files.
We need a fucntion to connect/disconnect to mysql
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$link;
$config;
function connect_db_lurl() {
global $link;
global $config;
$hostname = “localhost”;
$username = “USUARIO”;
$password = “SENHA”;
$dbname = “DATABASE”;
$link = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password); // Conecta ao mysql.
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(“Unknown database!”); // Seleciona o Banco de dados.
$config[“domain”] = “http://seudominio.com”; // Define a configuração da URL inicial
}function close_db_lurl() {
mysql_close(); // Fecha a conexão com o banco de dados
}
After this I created a function to redirect to the URL.
function redirect($url) {
header(“Location:”.$url); // Redireciona para a url.
}
Than I used the function from Abhise to generate the char sequence. (I add some chars to elevate the number of combinations
function generate_chars() {
$num_chars = 6; // Tamanho que você deseja as strings
$i = 0;
$my_keys = “123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ”; // Caracteres que valem para formação de endereço
$keys_length = strlen($my_keys);
$url = “”;
while($i<$num_chars) { // Gera sequencia aleatoria $rand_num = mt_rand(1, $keys_length-1); $url .= $my_keys[$rand_num]; $i++; } return $url; }
Created a function to verify if the key is unique.
function isUnique($chars) {
global $link;
$q = “SELECT * FROM `urls` WHERE `unique_chars`='”.$chars.”‘”;
$r = mysql_query($q, $link); // Verifica se a chave é unica.
if( mysql_num_rows($r)>0 ) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
And other to verify if the URL is in DB
function isThere($url) {
global $link;
$q = “SELECT * FROM `urls` WHERE `url`='”.$url.”‘”;
$r = mysql_query($q); // Verifica se já existe a url
if(mysql_num_rows($r)>0) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
Function to create
function create() {
global $link;
global $config;
$chars = generate_chars(); // Gera sequencia de caracteres.while(!isUnique($chars)){ // Verifica se é unico, se não for gera denovo.
$chars = generate_chars();
}$url = $_GET[“u”]; // Pega o endereço que está em ?u=endereço
$url = trim($url); // Retira espaços em branco do inicio e do fim
$url = mysql_real_escape_string($url);if(!isThere($url)) { // Caso não exista o endereço no banco.
$q = “INSERT INTO `urls` (url, unique_chars) VALUES (‘”.$url.”‘, ‘”.$chars.”‘)”;
$r = mysql_query($q, $link); // Insere o endereço
if(mysql_affected_rows()) {
$q = “SELECT * FROM `urls` WHERE `url`='”.$url.”‘”;
$r = mysql_query($q);
$row = mysql_fetch_row($r);
echo $config[“domain”].”/”.$row[2]; // Imprime endereço para acesso da nova url
} else {
echo “Desculpe, problemas com o banco de dados.”;
}
} else { // Caso já exista
$q = “SELECT * FROM `urls` WHERE `url` = ‘”.$url.”‘”;
$r = mysql_query($q); // Seleciona endereço para URL
$row = mysql_fetch_row($r);
echo $config[“domain”].”/”.$row[2]; // Imprime endereço para acesso da url.
}
}
Looking to the code I thought to create a function to get the url.
function take_lurl($lurl) {
global $link;
$q = “SELECT url FROM `urls` WHERE `unique_chars` = ‘”.$lurl.”‘”;
$r = mysql_query($q, $link); // Pega endereço original para tal string.
if(mysql_num_rows($r)>0) {
$info = mysql_fetch_array($r);
$url = $info[“url”];
} else {
echo “Sorry, link not found!”;
}
return $url;
}
Created the file “functions-little-url.php” with these functions.
index.php:
ob_start(); //Inicia Buffer de saida include("functions-little-url.php"); connect_db_lurl(); $lurl = $_GET["u"]; //Sequencia de caracteres $url = take_lurl($lurl); redirect($url); close_db_lurl(); ob_end_flush(); // Fecha buffer de saida ?>
create.php:
include("functions-little-url.php"); connect_db_lurl(); create(); close_db_lurl(); ?>
We need to add some lines do .htaccess and enable mod_rewrite.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([1-9a-zA-Z]*)$ index.php\?u=$1 [L]
I did this in my system that uses wordpress (that already uses mod_rewrite) so it work a little bit different. This is my .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f # Verifica se a página acessada não é um arquivo real
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d# Verifica se a página acessada não é um diretório
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]{6})$ /lurl/index.php?u=$1 [L] # Caso coincida com a expressão regular redirecione para /lurl/index.php?u=$1 onde /lurl/ é o diretório que está os meus arquivos de tiny-url e [L] indica que é a ultima instrução a ser executada.# Caso não feche com a parte em cima continua nas regras “padrões” do WordPress
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f # Verifica se a página acessada não é um arquivo real
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d# Verifica se a página acessada não é um diretório
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
(my URL shortener is inside /lurl/ directory but the redirect was done in matbra.com/XXXXXXX so it redirects to /lurl/
To create URLs acess create.php?u=ADDRESS
If you have any problem feel free to contact me.
Best Regards,
Matheus Bratfisch

Been using Tenobet for February, and I suppose I’ve got a fair bit of experience to actually comment. Came across it via a mate who was after a site with proper game coverage without all the affordability checks you run into now on the regulated UK ones. Worth saying up front: this isn’t UKGC licensed and it’s not on the GamStop scheme, which will matter to some of you a lot.
Lobby’s pretty huge — roughly 3,000+ titles last I looked, with the names you’d want all turn up: Pragmatic Play, Net Ent, Play’n GO, Big Time Gaming, Betsoft, Microgaming. Personally I rinse Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza, both load quick in browser. Live dealer’s Evolution, so it’s exactly what you expect — real croupiers, Crazy Time and Lightning Roulette for a change of pace. They do sports as well, and it gets a bit of use from me for the football, nothing special.
Bonus-wise is a 100% match to ?125 and 100 spins thrown in, and you need the code JOIN002 — I nearly forgot it the first time. Read the wagering before depositing, the requirement is not amazing but not predatory either. No no-deposit freebie that I could find. For the what’s running currently, they’re listed at tenobet before you sign up. Minimum deposit is ?10, standard stuff, the form took maybe two minutes.
Money side’s been the better half in my experience. Cards work, e-wallets like Skrill and Neteller are there, and crypto if you prefer. My Skrill cashouts have landed in under 24 hours; Visa took a bit longer. The one thing that annoyed me was the verification — they took 36-48 hours to clear my documents, and my first withdrawal just sat there the whole time. Nothing shady about it, but a bit of a wait.
Couple of niggles: they don’t have an app, so you’re on browser only. It’s responsive enough on Android though an app would be nicer. The login is occasionally sluggish in the evenings. Support’s live chat, English, decent, though the first replies feel a bit scripted. Ask a specific question and someone competent turns up.
