I have decided to release some of my code as a free scripts under a GPL licence. My first choice is my "Booking Calendar Lite" written in PHP with MySQL support.

If you have decided to move a copy of your wordpress to other host propably you will have problem with your mysql login details. Even if mysql database name, login and password are same - propably you will have to change login host (until it is not localhost :) ). It is very easy to do. All you need to change after you copy WordPress script to your new account is to edit wp-config.php file. Open it in any text editor (Notepad would be ok), find and edit following lines:
define('DB_NAME', 'put_db_name_here'); define('DB_USER', 'put_db_login_here'); define('DB_PASSWORD', 'put_db_password_here'); define('DB_HOST', 'put_mysql_host_here'); |
And that's all :)
Here is a demo of my url shortening script. It let your visitors to make short redirections of their very long url's (for example it is useful for twitter users where they are limited to 140 characters). Script is made to be as simple as possible. HTML is separated from PHP so it may be customized by editing one HTML file without touching any PHP code! It do not need MySQL database - all data is stored in the file system. Users are redirected by .htaccess file to desired shortcut. Additionally there is administrator backend module to manage (edit/add/delete) url shortcuts. Below you may click for demo installed on my dev server.

If you need to sort varchar data as int, there is one very nice function in MySQL. Problem I had to solve was to sort values as below in a human logical way. Values were similar to this (and I wanted it to be sorted like below):
1; 2; 2a; 3; 4; 5; 5a; 5b; 5c; 6; 7; 11; 14; 14a; 16;
The problem was that if I put this data to MySQL database as varchar and sort by this column, MySQL returned it this way:
1; 11; 14; 14a; 16; 2; 2a; 3; 4; 5; 5a; 5b; 5c; 6; 7;
