How is this possible?

Hey guys,

I was simply wondering how could one do this with PHP:
http://bacolicio.us/http://www.google.com

It takes the address written after the last backslash (of the domain
name; bacolicio.us), redirects to this website and adds an image that
has an absolute position.

Any advice, tip, link would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Just do a "view source" on the resulting page, and you'll see that it puts the google page (per your example URL) into an iframe, then overlays that with an absolutely positioned div that has the image in it. They probably use a bit of Apache URL rewriting to grab the supplied URL and turn it into a URL query string (available via $_GET if they are using PHP).

Hey,

Thank you for your response.

I already looked at the source via Firebug/Web Developper and I did see the structure of the website (iframe).

My problem is: where to start? I'm far from being a pro in PHP, so do you think you could show me a tutorial of give me some hints on how to proceed? I've been Googling for a long time now, but I just can't seem to find something that I understand and/or will help me do this exactly.

If it can help, I have deep knowledge in HTML/CSS/ActionScript. PHP/Apache is very new to me.

Thanks a lot for your time. I appreciate it.
