What is PHPUrl?

PHPUrl is an open-source URL shortener script written in PHP. It provides a simple interface that allows users to shorten long URLs into condensed aliases to make links easier to share on social media, embed in tweets, or just make them easier to distribute and remember.

Some key features of PHPUrl include:

• Customizable interface - The script comes with a clean template that can be customized to match the style of your website.
• Analytics - Track visits and clicks on your short URLs.
• API access - Programmatically generate and manage short URLs.
• Admin panel - Manage short URLs and settings from one dashboard.
• Free and open source - Licensed under MIT, you can use and modify the script for free.

PHPUrl requires a PHP/MySQL hosting environment to run. Once set up, users can enter a long URL into the interface and receive a randomly generated shorter alias. When visitors access the alias, it will redirect them to the original long URL.

Compared to other services, PHPUrl gives you more customization options and control since it is self-hosted. It provides reliable URL redirection without relying on third-party services.
