This PHP redirect server can answer all requests with configured redirect types from a database. It is supports multiple redirect modules, the following modules are already in this project:

• HTTP 301 (permanent redirect)
• HTTP 302 (temporary redirect)
• Frame Redirect (opens target in a frame)
• Proxy Redirect BETA (tries to proxy the request to the target)

It was written 2011 by Stephan Schwarz (@stearz)

Place the content of the project into the root of a PHP enabled webserver.

Create a database, table and a user on a MySQL compatible server:

CREATE DATABASE php-redirect-server;

CREATE TABLE redirects (
   id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
   type VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
   name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
   target VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
   active_from DATETIME NULL,
   active_until DATETIME NULL,
   primary key (id)
);

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON php-redirect-server.* TO 'php-redirect-server'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'php-redirect-server';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Configure the database connection in config.inc.php:

<?php
$DB_HOST='localhost';
$DB_NAME='php-redirect-server';
$DB_TABL='redirects';
$DB_USER='php-redirect-server';
$DB_PASS='php-redirect-server';
?> 

The project currently only supports the use of MySQL database servers but enabling it to use other SQL servers should be easy.
