But when I hit the link nothing happends and I just see a blank page.
What am I doing wrong or is there another way to do this?
This ofcourse will not track anything but just function as a simple redirect. Are there any scripts out there that can actually track hits but still make links like domain.com/go/paysitename.php ?
Any help will be appreciated. |
It all looks OK, except the symbol before the 'Location' is not the same as that at the end.
Should be either an apostrophe ( ' ) or a quotation mark ( " ), just as long as they are the same.
As far as scripts go, you can do what you are already doing or use .htaccess:
Assuming you own the site 'http://www.yoursite.com/'
If you want to link to 'Paysite Name', create a link on your site to point to
http://www.yoursite.com/paysitename/
Utilising your current method would be to make a folder called 'paysitename'.
In the folder you would put an 'index.php' file with the following single line
PHP Code:
<?php header('Location:http://www.paysite.com/trackingurl.html');?>
To use .htaccess, add the following line to your .htaccess file
Code:
RewriteRule ^paysitename/? http://www.paysite.com/trackingurl.html [L,R]
You can put as many of these in your .htaccess as you like, just as long as they are unique.
