Simple Redirect Script - Recommendations?

[darnit]

Hi,

Im seeking a free php based script that can covert outgoing links to something like this:

http://www.somedomain.com/target/?id=45

Anyone found a good one? This is low volume SE traffic so no need to handle massive volume

<disclaimer>

Yes ive googled the fuck out of it - just dont want to install some crap so looking for a tested one.

</disclaimer>

ablility to work over multiple domains a plus but not necessary

Thanks!

make a directory called "out" like yourserver.com/out/

in that folder make a file called link.txt

put your outgoing links seperated by "~" like this
http://site1.com~http://site2.com~http://site3.com

save this as index.php

<?php
$url = "link.txt";
$links = file_get_contents($url);
$link = explode('~',$links);
$go = $link[$out];
header("Location: $go"); 
?>

call it like http://yourserver.com/out/?out=2

or to make it cleaner, you can do this

http://www.site1.com
http://www.site2.com

then use this modified version of his script

<?php
$url = "link.txt";
$links = file_get_contents($url);
$link = explode('\n',$links);
$go = $link[$out];
header("Location: $go"); 
?>

that uses the line break code as the explode instead of ~ which makes it easier to edit your file and add/delete links

You might also want to test for \r\n, FWIW.. edit that file in Mike-Rowe-Sawft Winders and that's going to be a very broken redirect script.

or better yet

<?php
$link[1] = "http://www.site.com";
$link[2] = "http://www.site2.com";

$id = $_GET['id'];
header("location: " . $link[$id]);
?>
