Where is config.php? It should have come with phurl. You should place it in the /shorty/ directory.

I had to create the Config file..then i uploaded it then worked fine.. but then i go to create a short url and get this..

this is what global php looks like.

<?php
function db_connect() {
    global $config;

    mysql_connect($config['db_hostname'].":".$config['db_port'], $config['db_username'], $config['db_password']) or die(mysql_error());
    mysql_select_db($config['db_name']) or die(mysql_error());
}

function generate_url() {
    $keys = "23456789abcdefghkmnpqrstvwxyz";
    $i    = 0;
    $url  = "";

    while ($i < 6) {
      $random = mt_rand(0, strlen($keys) - 1);
      $url   .= $keys{$random};
      $i++;
    }

    return $url;
}
?>

do i have to point to a database? if so how do i create and have the url service point to it?
