URL shortener URL shortener

Jul 25, 2016 am 09:07 AM

This is an online code that does not require a database. The URL to be shortened is stored in a txt file in the same directory.
Demonstration: http://www.ucmbaa.org/u/
The first purpose is to shorten the URL, and the second is to prevent search engines from recognizing this address.

  1. /*
  2. location of file to store URLS
  3. */
  4. $file = 'urls.txt';
  5. /*
  6. use mod_rewrite: 0 - no or 1 - yes
  7. */
  8. $use_rewrite = 1;
  9. /*
  10. language/style/output variables
  11. */
  12. $l_url = 'URL';
  13. $l_nourl = 'No URL address entered';
  14. $l_yoururl = 'Your short URL:';
  15. $l_invalidurl = 'Invalid URL.';
  16. $l_createurl = ' Generate short URL';
  17. ////////////////////// NO NEED TO EDIT BELOW /////////////////// //
  18. if(!is_writable($file) || !is_readable($file))
  19. {
  20. die('Cannot write or read from file. Please CHMOD the url file (urls.txt) by default to 777 and make sure it is uploaded.');
  21. }
  22. $action = trim($_GET['id']);
  23. $action = (empty($action) || $action == '') ? 'create' : 'redirect';
  24. $valid = "^(https?|ftp)://([a-z0-9+!*(),;?&=$_.-]+(:[a-z0- 9+!*(),;?&=$_.-]+)?@)?[a-z0-9+$_-]+(.[a-z0-9+$_-]+)* (:[0-9]{2,5})?(/([a-z0-9+$_-].?)+)*/?(?[a-z+&$_.-][ a-z0-9;:@/&%=+$_.-]*)?(#[a-z_.-][a-z0-9+$_.-]*)?$";
  25. $output = '';
  26. if($action == 'create')
  27. {
  28. if(isset($_POST['create']))
  29. {
  30. $url = trim($_POST['url']) ;
  31. if($url == '')
  32. {
  33. $output = $l_nourl;
  34. }
  35. else
  36. {
  37. if(eregi($valid, $url))
  38. {
  39. $fp = fopen($file, 'a');
  40. fwrite($fp, "{$url}rn");
  41. fclose($fp);
  42. $id = count(file($file));
  43. $dir = dirname($_SERVER[ 'PHP_SELF']);
  44. $filename = explode('/', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
  45. $filename = $filename[(count($filename) - 1)];
  46. $shorturl = ($ use_rewrite == 1) ? "http://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}{$dir}{$id}" : "http://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}{$dir}{$ filename}?id={$id}";
  47. $output = "{$l_yoururl} {$shorturl}";
  48. }
  49. else
  50. {
  51. $output = $l_invalidurl;
  52. }
  53. }
  54. }
  55. }
  56. if($action == 'redirect')
  57. {
  58. $urls = file($file);
  59. $id = trim ($_GET['id']) - 1;
  60. if(isset($urls[$id]))
  61. {
  62. header("Location: {$urls[$id]}");
  63. exit;
  64. }
  65. else
  66. {
  67. die('Script error');
  68. }
  69. }

  72. The short URL service can help you shorten a long URL, making it easier for you to share the link on social networks and Weibo.

Explain the concept of late static binding in PHP. Explain the concept of late static binding in PHP. Mar 21, 2025 pm 01:33 PM

Article discusses late static binding (LSB) in PHP, introduced in PHP 5.3, allowing runtime resolution of static method calls for more flexible inheritance.Main issue: LSB vs. traditional polymorphism; LSB's practical applications and potential perfo

Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Apr 05, 2025 am 12:04 AM

JWT is an open standard based on JSON, used to securely transmit information between parties, mainly for identity authentication and information exchange. 1. JWT consists of three parts: Header, Payload and Signature. 2. The working principle of JWT includes three steps: generating JWT, verifying JWT and parsing Payload. 3. When using JWT for authentication in PHP, JWT can be generated and verified, and user role and permission information can be included in advanced usage. 4. Common errors include signature verification failure, token expiration, and payload oversized. Debugging skills include using debugging tools and logging. 5. Performance optimization and best practices include using appropriate signature algorithms, setting validity periods reasonably,

How does session hijacking work and how can you mitigate it in PHP? How does session hijacking work and how can you mitigate it in PHP? Apr 06, 2025 am 12:02 AM

Session hijacking can be achieved through the following steps: 1. Obtain the session ID, 2. Use the session ID, 3. Keep the session active. The methods to prevent session hijacking in PHP include: 1. Use the session_regenerate_id() function to regenerate the session ID, 2. Store session data through the database, 3. Ensure that all session data is transmitted through HTTPS.

Describe the SOLID principles and how they apply to PHP development. Describe the SOLID principles and how they apply to PHP development. Apr 03, 2025 am 12:04 AM

The application of SOLID principle in PHP development includes: 1. Single responsibility principle (SRP): Each class is responsible for only one function. 2. Open and close principle (OCP): Changes are achieved through extension rather than modification. 3. Lisch's Substitution Principle (LSP): Subclasses can replace base classes without affecting program accuracy. 4. Interface isolation principle (ISP): Use fine-grained interfaces to avoid dependencies and unused methods. 5. Dependency inversion principle (DIP): High and low-level modules rely on abstraction and are implemented through dependency injection.

Explain late static binding in PHP (static::). Explain late static binding in PHP (static::). Apr 03, 2025 am 12:04 AM

Static binding (static::) implements late static binding (LSB) in PHP, allowing calling classes to be referenced in static contexts rather than defining classes. 1) The parsing process is performed at runtime, 2) Look up the call class in the inheritance relationship, 3) It may bring performance overhead.
