Creating an affiliate blog

[cd34]

you could always use sessions -- and then process your exit links through a script. If you automatically start the session, set a decent expiration time, and set trans_sid, you should be able to always read the session on your exit links.

then $_SESSION['affid'] could always be retained, urls would appear clean and not munged (unless they didn't accept cookies)

I was just at php.net yesterday, looking over session info, and that is probably the best route for this project. I believe Toby suggested that too. I know nothing about creating sessions, but how hard could it be?

I'm suppose to be installing an interior door and doing some taping on some new sheet rock in a customer's home, but I'm still sitting here screwing with this blog. I believe I officially have the aff id being passed in every link, even archive links, so I'm pretty fucking proud of my ignorant self right now. Those of you who know Chop, know that he'd never forgive me if the aff id was dropped in a single instance.

Now it's on to the RSS feed. I try syndicating it with one of my aggregators this morning and it dropped the id instantly. So - all uphill on that end. Still happy about the blog itself though. I guess I should start writing posts, eh.
