Hi everyone,

I have some code here off a script I have.

PHP Code:

<?php
    include 'inc/lib/dbconnection.php';

    $short_url = "http://$domain/".$_GET['id'];
    
    $checkdomain = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `short_urls` WHERE `short` = '".$short_url."'");         
    if(mysql_num_rows($checkdomain) == 1) {
    
        $geturl = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `short_urls` WHERE `short` = '".$short_url."'");
        $reet = mysql_fetch_array($geturl);
        
        ## REDIRECT TO NEW URL
        header ('Location: '.$reet['url'].'');    
    } else {
        header ("Location: http://$domain/");
    }
    
?>

I want to add a frame to this code so when this script opens a frame at the top will open and I can insert whatever I want into the frame,

AdSense

, My own adverts etc

How would I do this?

thanks in advance

You can't, if you send ANY output before the header(), PHP will throw an error.

Thanks for your reply,
is there any other way I could do this then?

Dunno, what exactly are you trying to do?


Though I'll hazard a guess at framing external pages while showing ads in a top frame (Google image search style).

Which would of course be against the Adsense ToS.

Yes I want to do that but not for Google Adsense, As I have a Ad rotator script which I run myself.

I have purchased a URL Shortner script. I was hoping to display an advert in a frame at the top saying something along the lines of a 468x60 banner with an advert for the site.

The idea of a "URL shortener" is that the visitor will never see the site/page that handles the "shortening".
A link is clicked on page A and site B silently and invisibly redirects to page C.

Your only opportunity to show adverts is to the person who visits your site to get a short URL to paste into their links.

If you go the link above, create a link and then click the link you just created, they have some been able to create a frame with ads.

So exactly as I said here then:

So your script needs to build a frame set (or an iframe) and open the external page in the bottom frame, NOT redirect.

It's a very old trick that went out of "fashion" a very long time ago BTW.

If you view the source of the output you'll get all the code you need.
