Thread: Free URL Shortening Script

Adding captcha to the script wouldn't be a hard process at all. Never thought of adding as I didnt see this type of site being an issue with bots using it to add links. Unless your wanting it on a holding page.

I ran a URL shortener once, and it was swarmed by bots!

Thanks a lot Mr.Bill for the valuable download.

Oh this must've been what you were asking about in PM, I can't remember If this was ever finished, and I kinda let urlXP lapse so I haven't been paying attention to the status of this script lately.

I can go through my files and see, and if not, I'll setup another demo install of the script to start adding more features back in to it, including this hold page and I guess some sort of captcha as well. (Obviously I'll make these features optional and up to the admin to enable or not.)

Make sure when you edit this and make these extras you add a plug for yourself in the code since it has been taken under your wing On the recaptcha a spot in the admin for them to add there api key or whatever it is they call it 2 of them would be great. Holding page that can be set for any time limit would be nice also. Will have to figure out how to compensate you for your time.

Thank you dtkguy
