By [Plornt] on Mar 21, 2011This is a very basic pastebin base I made for myself to use since pastebin went "pro".
It has absolutly no theme, it looks like shiz, but it did what I needed it to do, which was a one page small place where I could paste in my text and get a link to it without creating a mysql database.
It uses the SQLite3 class which is usually packaged with PHP >5 (Wamp on windows needs a little editing to make sure the DLL exstension is enabled).
I will probably annotate it with comments so others can read my code and also expand some of the brackets a bit instead of my attempt to oneline most of it.
Also a bit of HTML around it just to make the page slighty valid (Well >.> ).
If you choose to use it as is makes sure to go to ?page=setup to create the neccesary table.

Very nice! This can come in handy for creating a place to dump code, without having to endure pastebin.com's recently-acquired fail-ness.
Nice work with the code, too. Short and sweet.
My only suggestion would be to make the links a bit shorter, as a base64-encode is a bit long for comfort in the short-URL world which we live in.
That's something I've been considering for some time, but it's a real technical challenge under the current infrastructure. I'll have to weigh the pros and cons and come up with an implementation plan. It might be nice to have, but it's currently not the top priority. I appreciate the suggestion, thank you.
