Hi there,

My question is less about PHP coding but more about the approach I should take...

I've successfully built affiliate programs, their login/registration & reporting systems in the past for specific domains. (But I'm still no PHP expert!)

I now want to take this one stage further....

I want a central domain, lets call it 'cash4clicks.com' to be the central location for an affiliate programme but I want this to be the hub for affiliates to promote a multitude of sites. They will have a single account but when they login, they can choose to promote a variety of other in-house websites.

I can't quite get my head around how I might track hits & sales using cookies across domains. Is this where the 'session.cookie_domain' parameter comes in useful or am I not thinking this through?

If I set the cookie at 'cash4clicks.com' to track it along with the affiliates stats, how is it possible (and best to) then track this referral through 'SITE1.com' to the point of sale and beyond?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Gary
