Looking for PHP script...

I'd like a script like LinkCounter.com uses.

Example:
http://www.linkcounter.com/go.php?linkid=[numbershere]

I've searched script archives, but haven't found anything similar. I'm not looking for a 'tracker', but something that obscures the URLs. Hopefully the script uses a textfile for the URLs, but MySQL backend will work too.
 
Thanks, but I'm not looking for a tracker. I tried ODTrack before. I don't want to have the URL shown. Maybe if Oodie could do something with that script... hmmm?

The CGI script that I posted, myLinkTracker, uses numbers. For example, http://me.host.com/cgi-local/lt/linktracker.cgi?101 or you can do what I do and use .htaccess to set the directory index for the http://me.host.com/cgi-local/lt/ directory to "linktracker.cgi" and you can have http://me.host.com/cgi-local/lt/?101, which I find easier when I have to type links out.

Hope this helps.
 
I think usr is confused. If you look at the address of this page (yes, *this* page), you'll see a similar URL. This is the php script at work and not any sort of script 'hiding' the true URL of anything.

I think he just wants to impress his visitors with something that is just a waste of time ;)
 
I think I'm getting an idea of what it is. Sometimes jumpboxes are referenced by simple words (if you check the form code). Selecting 'services' from a pull down selection box, inputs the option 'services' (again you'd have to check the form to see that this is the input.

Part of the script says that if the input is 'services', goto http://domain.com/services.html

You want to do something like this but not with an pull down menu, just directly access the script via a link. Am I close?

Altavista uses something like this- when you search for 'hosting', the first link is:

http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=r&n=1&i=ONmiEFx&m=18&u=hosting.cz/

-which redirects to: http://www.hosting.cz
 
Nevermind. I'll use the Perl script.

If you truly want to understand Chicken, make an account at LinkCounter.com and set up an URL.

But if anyone else comes across a PHP script, post. Thanks again.
 
hmm

i can't program in php but i can write that script in perl for you. it's really simple, really :)

melz.
