Linking Like This

[webmasternovis]

Hi there,

On some sites I've seen URL's like this...

www.website.com/out.php?linkid=40

...which redirect to a certain page, depending on what id their link is.

I'm having trouble getting to know how these work, so could somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks a lot,
Mike🙂

hi,

what your basically looking at here in this script is a database, and a header function

$sql = "SELECT * from url_table where id='".$_GET[linkid]."'";
$query = mysql_query($sql) or die("error");
$rows = mysql_num_rows($query);

if ($rows < 1) {
echo "could not select url";
}
else {
$row = $mysql_fetch_array($query);
header('Location: ' . $row[url]);
}

something like that
