Trimly is a simple, fast, and modern URL shortener project built with PHP. I cannot guarantee that all features will work as expected, but it is a good starting point. This should be a good base for someone to develop their own url shortener and to learn from.
Follow these quick steps to get Trimly up and running on your server.
- Create a new database in MariaDB.
- Import the provided
cms_db_import.sqlfile into your newly created database to generate all the necessary tables.
- Open the
db.phpfile located in the project's root directory. - Update the database configuration settings with your MariaDB credentials (host, database name, username, and password).
- Upload the project files to your PHP-enabled web server.
- Access the app through your web browser and start shortening links!
