Assuming you're changing the links on a dynamically generated free hosted gallery, eg. you're changing the links on:
http://www.fhgdomain.com/fhg.php?id=cocksmoker

On fhg.php:

PHP Code:

<?php

// Extract the affiliate id from the url
$affiliate_id = $_GET['id'];

// Insert the affiliate id into the sponsor code
$link_url = "http://www.sponsordomain.com/clickthrough.php?id=$id";

// Print the modified url
print "<a href=\"$link_url\">Click here to check out this fucking amazing sponsor</a>";

?>

This is a very usefull script but I had to make a simple modifaction to get it to work. It should read as follows:

PHP Code:

<?php

// Extract the affiliate id from the url
$affiliate_id = $_GET['id'];

// Insert the affiliate id into the sponsor code
$link_url = "http://www.sponsordomain.com/clickthrough.php?id=$affiliate_id";

// Print the modified url
print "<a href=\"$link_url\">$link_url</a>";

?>

Note the change on this line:

$link_url = "http://www.sponsordomain.com/clickthrough.php?id=$affiliate_id ";

Also if you want to use this script to insert codes into links from a form (so a reseller can insert his code and then have his ID insterted into all of your links, you can use the following:

PHP Code:

<?php

// Extract the affiliate id from the url
$affiliate_id = $_POST['id'];

// Insert the affiliate id into the sponsor code
$link_url = "http://www.sponsordomain.com/clickthrough.php?id=$affiliate_id";

// Print the modified url
print "<a href=\"$link_url\">$link_url</a>";

?>

I hope this helps.

This script can also serve as the basis for a POTD script using iframes.
