Anyone know of a custom URL shortener that also works on localhost (for testing)?
I dont have an answer for ya but im reading this article right now, i think it requires a ruby environment but ill keep searching because i was curious about this as well.

Nevermind, looks like too much work and a little bit outdated..

I have no idea if it will work locally, but if you are using WordPress, check out the Pretty Link plugin.
Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I think a plugin might be a bit heavy. I was hoping for something like this: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/php-url-shortener
Not sure if it works locally, though.
I think that link I posted above is the answer. Will update tomorrow after testing.
So after I’ve installed the database and edited everything I needed to, I can’t seem to get it to work.

It spits out the javascript instead of the actual short url.
