I re-added it and now the single delete checkboxes work as expected. Update: In regards to the delete checkbox, I was an idiot and somehow removed the ‘Delete’ button from the top of the form.

I figured that was the reason you left it simple and that's why I took it upon myself to make it match my website. I changed some of your php to my liking also, but only really the HTML it would echo out when something was submitted, changed, etc. I also made the nav into a <code>ul</code>. The only thing I was confused by was that each link on the admin panel has a check box for deleting single or multiple ones, but when I ticked a few and clicked 'delete all', it deleted ALL of them (even the unticked ones). Maybe I removed a button during my tweaking but I don't recall. That threw me off a bit. Luckily at the time I only had a few links on there so I was able to manually enter them, but it would've been disastrous if I had 100 or more. I think it’s a great script.

The motivation for the simple backend was to allow things like this. It is nice to see people harness that and design it to what they liked. I have found a lot of developers and designers like to do that with scripts, so that is how I design my scripts. I will be designing a WordPress plugin to go hand-in-hand with the script so you will be able to plug in your Short url script choice if it is a PHPurl based script.
