Your mission: Create your own “URL Shortener" application in PHP (similar to goo.gl)
-
A user should be able to place in a long URL and submit.
-
It should store the long version of the URL, and generate a short URL for the user.
-
All subsequent requests to the short URL should send the user to the long URL by some manner of redirect.
-
You can use whatever frameworks you desire (Laravel, Symfony2, Slim, Codeigniter).
-
You can use whatever data storage method you prefer (SQLite, MySQL, flat-file).
-
You are free to build up the complexity as you desire (CRUD, analytics, caching), but try not to spend more than 1~3 hours.
Place the result in GitHub and send us the link by Friday, September 21st
