My link works successfully and i can find the .php file .... it just doesn't redirect. Any help is appreciated. I can get this to work no problems when it’s a straight link but for example when it’s google referall affiliate code its a block of text like ……

google_ad_client = “pub-???????????”;
google_ad_output = “textlink”;
google_ad_format = “ref_text”;
google_cpa_choice = “CAAQnfzw4AIaCJwZC9ix5DwoKN2uuIEBMAA”;
//–>

‘

So how do i get this to work? My link works successfully and i can find the .php file …. it just doesn’t redirect.

Any help is appreciated.

For instance, a typcial amazon affiliate link for a Sony Ericsson Cellphone Search page results would be as below: What part of this do i put into the following redirect page codeline if ($linkid == "") {$link = "AFFILIATE LINK GOES HERE";} Really appreciate your help, thanks I have set up a php redirect and can get it to work for normal links that are just a straight URL with an affiliate ID attached, but how do you reconfigue Amazon links to work - they have that tracking code on the end.
