Redirect Script

[Pipeline-Webdesign]

is there a script for link redirections? This way I'll know exactly where my hits are coming from?

why not use the referer data provided in the headers of each request?

"HTTP_REFERER" header contains URL of the page your page referenced from. If you exclude HTTP_REFERER entries with your own site URL (you will get them when your visitors navigates your site), you will get full list of sites your page was referenced from.

Also you can analyse your HTTP access log if you can get it.

If I understand your question you are looking for a redirect script or example. Here is a simple redirect script.

<A href="http://www.domain_name.com/redirect.php?url=portfolio.asp">redirect</a>

<?php
$link = $_GET['url'];

header("Location: ".$link);
?>

Here is a redirect based on specific paramaters being passed.

<A href="http://www.domain_name.com/redirect.php?url=ok">redirect</a>

<?php

$redirect = $_GET['url'];

if ($redirect == 'ok') {
header('location:login.php');
} else {
header('location:nologin.php');
}
?>

There are so many ways to do this based on what you are trying to accomplish.
