#Simple Link Shortener

I got asked if I could make a super simple link shortner. But saw potential to make it much more useful; Feel free to fork, knife or spoon my code. Using MIT Licensing. If you have any suggestions or issues with the any of the projects then feel free to raise an issue or a request a pull of the fixed version.

Quick Download

Check Help and install guide for any issues you come across.

###V1 - Super Simple - file storage The most simple shortner is extremely easy to use. All that is needed to get this working is a quick download and dump it on the deployment zone of your choice. As this is a very short script the only downside is that to add links you must place them inside links.ini using a FTP program or editor, but you could improve upon it to allow trusted users to edit the page or add new lines to it.

### V.2 - Simple - database storage The version is personally what I expect most people to use. It allows end users to submit their own links for submission and to a point where it allows people to select their own customised link. Once they created it is stored into a database and as long as the database stays up all will be well. V2.3 Allows cname support (subdomains) using a wildcard DNS.
