Cas.im/ir is inspired by — and tries to find its way between — both lilURL and xav.cc 's sfShortUrlPlugin, the first lacking some essential features and the later needing a whole symfony environment, as the location implies.
Cas.im/ir is both available online at cas.im and as a download for self hosting.
It only needs PHP and MySQL to run. Just install it, following the instructions in the readme file, and enjoy it!
The development is hosted on GitHub, so you can fork it and help me enhance it at will!
Disclaimer: I didn't try to follow any PHP golden development rules, it just had to work as I needed.
