Here's an example of a simple PHP input form that allows users to input start and end dates to remove short URLs between those dates:
Create a PHP script, let's call it remove_urls_form.php:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Remove Short URLs Between Dates</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Remove Short URLs Between Dates</h1>
<form method="get" action="remove_urls_between_dates.php">
<label for="start_date">Start Date:</label>
<input type="date" name="start_date" required>
<label for="end_date">End Date:</label>
<input type="date" name="end_date" required>
<input type="submit" value="Remove Short URLs">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Create the remove_urls_between_dates.php script as previously provided. This script processes the form input and removes short URLs between the specified dates.
With this setup, users can access the remove_urls_form.php page, input the start and end dates in the form, and submit it to remove short URLs within the specified date range. The form uses the get method to pass the dates as parameters in the URL.
Make sure to replace "your_server", "your_username", "your_password", and "your_database" with your actual database connection details. Also, ensure that the path to the remove_urls_between_dates.php script is correctly specified in the form action attribute.
When you navigate to remove_urls_form.php in your browser, you should see the input form. Users can fill in the start and end dates, click the "Remove Short URLs" button, and the corresponding script will be executed to remove short URLs between the specified dates.
================================================
To remove short URL data between two specific dates, you can create a PHP script that takes the start and end dates as parameters and then deletes the corresponding short URLs from your database. Here's an example of how you can do this:
Create a PHP script, let's call it remove_urls_between_dates.php:
<?php
// Database connection (Replace with your own database connection details)
$servername = "your_server";
$username = "your_username";
$password = "your_password";
$dbname = "your_database";
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
// Get the start and end dates from the URL parameters
$startDate = $_GET["start_date"];
$endDate = $_GET["end_date"];
if (!empty($startDate) && !empty($endDate)) {
// Query the database to select short URLs between the specified dates
$sql = "SELECT short_id FROM short_urls WHERE created_at >= '$startDate' AND created_at <= '$endDate'";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$shortIdentifier = $row["short_id"];
// Delete the short URL from the database
$deleteSQL = "DELETE FROM short_urls WHERE short_id = '$shortIdentifier'";
$conn->query($deleteSQL);
// Optionally, you can perform additional cleanup or logging here
}
echo "Short URLs removed between $startDate and $endDate.";
} else {
echo "No short URLs found between $startDate and $endDate.";
}
} else {
echo "Start date and end date parameters are required.";
}
$conn->close();
?>
This script expects the start_date and end_date parameters in the URL and removes short URLs created between those dates.
To remove short URLs between two specific dates, you can call this script by providing the start and end dates as parameters in the URL. For example:
https://www.yourdomain.com/remove_urls_between_dates.php?start_date=2023-01-01&end_date=2023-02-01
Replace "your_server", "your_username", "your_password", and "your_database" with your actual database connection details.
Make sure the short_urls table in your database contains the created_at column with the date information. Also, ensure that the path to the remove_urls_between_dates.php script is correctly specified when calling it in your application.
