[...] shortener, PHP URL shortener, phurl, or kissabe, just to name some of them. Of course you can also create your own one. I took a look at some of these tools and decided for YOURLS. It’s very easy to install [...]

Hello

I think the best what you can do is to install your own link tracking & URL shortening service on your server (domain) like link-tracking.co.uk/sean-o.tr then you can be sure your hardly created links in years will not get banned or deleted. :)

Hi Liza, if you’re storing them in a database, you can modify, delete, do whatever you like with your shortened links.

Hi! I wonder if I can change/modify the shortened links or delete them in any case? Is there such a service like that?

Hi Sean, great TUT.

My question is thus.
Say we have a form, that when submitted creates a unique ID.
Which lets say is mysite.com/123456

Can we also instantaneously without any clicks or input echo back the url shortener for this ID ?

In essence, we have users who PLACE an advert. The advert gets assigned a unique listing ID, when they submit the form. Can we systematically, return a url shortened that pertains to this ID. Upon succesful form submission ?
