I have been trying some affiliate redirect coding,and i tried to use one that involves the creation of a folder on the domain then another folder for the offer.

If my website is 'mysite' then the offere is 'money',then i create a folder called 'go' then another called 'money' so the url is
copeac would be:

http://www.mysite.com/go/money/

Then an index file would be in the 'money' folder with the following affiliate code which leads to their signup page
< ?php
header("location:http://affiliates.money.com/signup/1026");
?>

The problem is that this does not work.Any help?

You might have a space or some other characters in front or last of this code

< ?php
header("location:http://affiliates.money.com/signup/1026");
?>

Check and delete them, or use this code

<?php
header("Location: http://www.example.com/");
exit;
?>

One way you can do this is to use PHP if and else statements such as.

PHP Code:

<?
if(!$r) {
// Do Nothing //
} else {
// What you want to do //
}
?>

Using this you would then use links that look like this.

PHP Code:

http://www.mysite.com/?r=1 


And if you want to take it to the next step you can use mod_rewrite to rewrite the link and make something like this.

PHP Code:

http://www.mysite.com/1 


And then for storing the affiliate code you can use either sessions or cookies but personally I suggest that you use both just in case the user does not have cookies enabled.

Cheers!
