Just need a database that records an ID and a full URL, a form that will accept a URL and return the matching ID, and a script that will accept an ID and CFLOCATION to the associated URL. Pretty simple really.
Probably want to dress the redirect script up with mod_rewrite or something so you can do myDomain.com/go/myUrlId, rather than myDomain.com/go.cfm?id=myUrlId, but that's a bonus. cheers, barneyb On 8/4/05, Johnny Le <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I saw several sites that allow you to create short URLs.
