Hi, i just wonder if this suggestion could also be used for in-page redirects??
I mean like this:
Someone fills a form, then they come to a Thank You page.
The thank you page would have a few Thank You messages as “if” statements to display, depending on the form input, or also have a redirect to another page, also depening on the input and the corresponding if statement.

Could it be done and work??

Example
I want to redirect to another page only if these 2 statement where activated by the form input
{if site_new==1}
{if ispayment==1}

How would i have to rewrite your scriptlet to do exactly that – while doing no redirection if any of the other if statements on the Thank You page where selected??

Probably not so, but how then??

Hi David,

Is it possible to use this script to count the number of times an individual link is clicked? SO I could look every few days and see what the most popular link was by number of clicks?

many thanks,
Marc

as pointed out kindly on the A4U forums by Diobach, you can cover all the user agents in your robots.txt file with the following code:

User-agent: *
Disallow: redirect.php

This will cover all SE robots and any other robots that may try to access the file.

Thanks for this script, just what I’ve been searching for. I was struggling to see why it wasn’t working though – there’s a ” ‘ ” missing after linkid on Line 2.
Thanks again!

Just as a footnote to this post, if you want to see a redirect in action just look at the ‘Affiliate Networks’ on the right hand side. They use this technique.
