A flat file URL shortener written in PHP.

Getting setup

1. Download and extract this repo.
2. Create a .txt file in the urls directory for what you want your shortened URL to end with e.g. for yourdomain.com/example you would create example.txt in the urls directory.
3. Inside your newly created .txt file, paste the URL you wish to shorten e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ and make sure there's NOTHING ELSE in the file (no blank lines either).
4. Upload everything to your PHP-enabled web server.

Need a hint?

I have created an example shortened URL urls/example.txt based on the above setup guide.
