Short Url Redirection

Step 1.

************************************************************************

Upload the files to your host.

**Its Important** that the .htaccess file is allways placed in the
root folder, Even if you place the main files in a subfolder, unless
you want to offer redirection from a sub-folder
yourdomain.com/sub-folder/shorturl.

Example:

/.htaccess
/config.php
/create.php
/create_template.php
/go.php
/index.html
/admin/

Or

/.htaccess
/subfolder/config.php
/subfolder/create.php
/subfolder/create_template.php
/subfolder/go.php
/subfolder/index.html
/subfolder/admin/

If you install it to a subfolder you have to edit the .htaccess file.
The line:

"RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ /go.php?id=$1 [L]"
To
"RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ /subfolder/go.php?id=$1 [L]"

************************************************************************

Step 2.

************************************************************************

Open up config.php Edit the lines with the correct information for your
Domain Name and Mysql info, and admin username and password.

**Its Important** that you only specify the domain name,
Even if you place the main files in a subfolder, unless you want to
offer redirection from a sub-folder yourdomain.com/sub-folder/shorturl.
