I need a little help on creating links for my affiliate program. I want to make it where my affiliates can attach their affiliate ID onto the address bar of my promo webpage, and then have all the tracking links in that page automatically place that affiliate ID from the address bar in those tracking links so the affiliate doesn't have to go in and manually alter the links.

I assume that I have to do this with php... and I'm sure this is probably fairly simple to do, but I don't have any experience with php.

Ok, I think I may have found the code that I need to use.

<? echo $id; ?>

But for some reason it's not working for me.

The above code does work. Apparently my problem is now a server side issue. It works with my hostgator servers but not with godaddy (why am I not surprised ).

you're probably going to have to pay someone to do this for you if you're unfamiliar w/PHP

however, in the event that the following makes sense to you...

I imagine what you're going to have to do is append the variable "$id" at the end of the HTML code that you want to assign the unique aff. code for each at.


Example...

<?php

echo "http://www.yoursite.com/whatever/you/have/here/ " . $id . " ";

?>

mind you, you're also going to have to make sure that whatever page you're implementing this on that your $_SESSIONs are being set, or else that unique $id variable that applies to each individual person isn't going to come through.
