PHP - Cloak And Track A Link When Using A Variable Url
Hi everybody,
I want to cloak my affiliate links or mask it so it looks like a pretty url. Also if possible, I want to track the clicked link with Google Analytics so I think I need a page where I can log the click.
I found lots of information but not for the situation I have. I get my links from my database like this:
echo '<a href="'.$info['url'].'">the link</a>';How can I accomplish this? So I need a url like www.mydomain.com/click and when a user click on the link the get a new page with a tracking code and a redirect script to the right url. Thanks so much for the help! Kind regards, Mark Similar TutorialsHello, I want to buy some traffic on "trafficholder". This site have a large network of sellers and you paid for traffic niche, country, etc... so just to know if they send me the correct amount of traffic I though on give they an URL like this: www.mysite.com/?ref=traffic so all traffic sent there will be counted. whit this method I can I can differentiate that traffic is normal and what is from trafficholder (they send traffic from many many sites so it's difficult to track it whit google-analytics for example) do you know guys how to do it? if you can do a script for me (I think it's simple but my php knowledge is 0) I'll appreciate!!! Thanks in advance Hy, How can I put a link to a variable without doing like: Code: [Select] <a href='#'>$var</a> I heard that can be other ways. Thanks Hi. I have a sort of security script which checks a few things, how can i save the url of the link that was clicked, so i can pass it through the script then if all is good, continue on to the url, if not send them somewhere else let me try to explain better with a little text picture user clicks link ----------------------> link goes to my security script --------------------> if the check passes, continue to original links url so basically i just need to know how to save the links url as a variable Hi guys, I want to find the most efficient way of setting a php variable through a link.
What I'm trying to achieve is to allow the user to select a category and their location and store the two variables to update my database results. I first used the GET method, but since the page refreshes when the user selects any other Get variable, so it ends up reseting the variables. Currently I have the category and locations as drop down menu with links to each of the options. I'll appreciate any help. Thank you. :]
trying to post a link to the database Code: [Select] $amessage ="<a href="link.php">this is a link </a>"; then return that link later on another page. I have a page that lists out some basic information about each quiz this particular student has taken (call it "quiz summary"). I am creating another page that will have all details of a particular quiz by itself (call it "quiz detail"). If I have a link for each quiz on the "quiz summary" page, how do I tell the "quiz detail' page which link they clicked on? Or which quiz they have selected. I was thinking it would work if I assigned a session variable to each link and then the "quiz detail" page could verify which returns true still and show details for that quiz. Would this logic work? Npot sure how to do it anyone though. thanks for any help! ive done a page that works fine but id like to add links to the results so i can view the models. working page here http://sts.hostei.com/dsgi/list_records.php in the make column i want a link that will only show the make clicked. if this was a fixed page i no how to do it but i cannot figure out to make it from the way ive discribed. i know i have to alter this line <td><div align="center"><?php echo $rows['make']; php?></div></td> but no idea how to do this. do i create a new page for the query? if so how do i pass the $var? is it possable to do this from the same page? ie appear undr the main table.

I have 2 variables like $variable1 and $ variable2 which are placed in a loop now I want the $variable to be echo't in a link like <a href="http://exampe.com/$variable1"/> On this dynamicly generated page I want to output the $varible1 of this link and $variable2 while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { echo " <tr>"; echo " <td>" . $row["variable1"] . "</td>"; echo " <td>" . $row["variable2"] . "</td>"; echo " </tr>"; I have to put a link that can be clicked around the first name and last name variables in the echo statement below. I also need to add a variable from the Select query to the link such as: 'www.phpfreaks.com/admin/customers.php?page=1&cID="VARIABLE HERE" &action=edit' I've tried a bunch of things and none seem to work. while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo '<tr><td>' . $row['customers_firstname'] . " " . $row['customers_lastname'] . '</td><td>' . date("M. d, Y", strtotime($row['date'])) . '</td><td>' . $row['plan_id'] . '</td></tr>'; David Hi All, I'm sending an email with a link to a web page with a form on. Code: [Select] <tr style="padding:10px;"> <td align="center"> <a style="text-decoration:none;" href="http://www.foo.co.uk/bar.php?id=123"> <img src="/header.jpg" border="0" style="display: block;" width="380" height="64" alt="Logo" /> </a> </td> </tr> I currently GET the id from the URL and add it to a hidden field in the form which then sends the ID to the database on submit so I know from which email the user came from to fill out the form. This doesn't always work as I guess some people move from the form page to look at other pages on my site then come back to fill in the form. I think I need to use SESSION to keep the id 'active' but cannot figure out how to GET the id from the URL and put it into a SESSION, alas I am struggling to even start and finish a basic SESSION.

Edited by man5, 15 July 2014 - 07:09 PM. Hello all! I am somewhat new to PHP and SQL, but I think I have a basic understanding of how the language works. I have read through a million different websites and forums, and have tried a million different ways but am just not getting anywhere! This is what I am trying to do... I have a text link that I want to click through to an outside URL from my website. This outside URL was already entered into an SQL database, and I just cant seem to get the text link to bring up the outside URL from the database. This is what I have so far... 1.) My webpage that I am working on is www.mywebsite.com/articles.php 2.) I want the text "Read more..." on this webpage to click through to an outside URL, like "http://www.google.com", which was already entered into an SQL database under the title of "article_link" in a new window 3.) So I would like for "Read more..." to click through the outside URL that was entered into "article_link" in the database Code: [Select] <?php echo <p><a href="\' . $article_link . '\" target="_blank">Read more...</a></p>; ?> Nothing I have tried has worked so far, nothing clicks through to the outside URL in the "article_link" entry from the database. Sorry if I am being redundant, I have been at this all day! Please help and thank you in advance!! Hi everyone, first of all let me thank you for this wonderful forum I come back here always when i need help... i'm trying to learn so soon i hope, i'll be helping others... I have a question for now, i have a code which goes like this: Code: [Select] <? $b = time (); $date1 =date( "Y-m-d;h:i:s" , mktime(date("h")+6, date("i"), date("s"), date("m") , date("d"), date("Y"))); $str_time = "&receivedtimestamp="; $str_msg = "&msg=bkt"; $str_from = "from="; ?> <a href="http://testext.i-movo.com/api/receivesms.aspx?<?echo $str_from;?><?=$getuser[0]['phone'];?><?echo $str_time;?><?echo $date1;?><?echo $str_msg;?>">Get a Cupon</a> What i need is that when the URL is generated, one of those variables to be hidden, for example the $str_from to be in the link but not visible... I must tell you that the link on the Get Cupon goes to an external link so i don't know if i can do it with .httpaccess as i've heard... Hey, I'm trying to save a MySQL-Link source as an instance variable in my query class. The problem is that MySQL sees it as an invalid MySQL-Link (supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource). What I'm I doing wrong? //Walle Code: [Select] private $connection; //Construct public function __construct(&$connection) { $this->connection = $connection; } //Where the error occurs public function exe_query($sql) { $result = mysql_query($sql, $this->connection); if(!$result) { throw new Exception(mysql_error()); } return $result; } Hello Everyone, I'm using PHP with MySQL. One of the fields in the database is website. The code I'm using is as follows: variable: $web=mysql_result($result,$i,"web"); html/php code: <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="<? echo "$web"; ?>">Website</a></font></td> What it should do is have the clickable word Website with the correct url from the database. Instead it's repeating the website the page is on. For example it's doing this: http://mywebsite/www.enteredwebsite.com Any help is appreciated. Trying to figure out how to make it so name is a link to the profile when its echo anyone know how to do this? im at a huge stand still Code: [Select] <?php $sql = "SELECT name FROM users WHERE DATE_SUB(NOW(),INTERVAL 5 MINUTE) <= lastactive ORDER BY id ASC"; $query = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); $count = mysql_num_rows($query); $i = 1; while($row = mysql_fetch_object($query)) { $online_name = htmlspecialchars($row->name); echo '<a href="Inbox.php">"'[$goauld]'</a>"'; ?> Hi,
i am a student for a school.
we have in each class a book that lists the shool year. Teachers use it to make notes in it and mark people that are not present.
i want to bring that whole process online making a website out of it.
Teachers can log in and see the yearbook. Days view, Week view, Month view. Mark people that have been missing on a specific day. List all the people that have been missing during a school week.
How would i present the Calender? Tables?
I have the some knowledge in mysql, php and joomla.
How would i go about getting startet? Do i need to have a Framework?
All ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
I have a site where people vote, currently if two computers that are on the same network vote, my site will see them as one computer because I only track people by IP address. What would be a good way to track 2+ computers with the same IP address? |
