page.php?refer=ID

I am just wondering how you can set up on your site so you can give say... ormation.com a link to your website, but you want to track click throughs. You decide to use

yoursite.com/index.php?refer=ormation

How do you do this?

[wm2k1]

simple!

you need a database ... or flat file
and each time somebody use a refer link, increment the count for that user

but why wasting ur time with it?
the server stores raw log files and part of it contain information on where the user was refferred from
...if u have paid hosting, they would most likely give it to u

[GlennKnows]

I don't have a paid host though...

Getting a database is okay, I have access to cgi, mySQL and it can run PHP

Plus I was going to do other things for it aswell... do you know what I could search for in google.com to find it though?

Thanks

I would check on hotscripts for a script like that also.
