Simple PHP redirect - hit notification script

My good friend Adrian Ling (easybiztools.com) offered up a neat little PHP redirect, that sends you an email notification each time it's clicked.

It also provides the referred site ... as long as your site host has that function enabled.

Either way, it's an easy way to redirect an affiliate URL (or one you'd like to shorten), and the email notification is extra handy if you're tracking hits from from an ad run, split test, or download.

Cut and paste the following code into a blank page, and save it as 'whatever.php'

-------- start ------------

/* =========== start editing ========= */
$domain = "yourdomain.com";
$emailto = "name@yourdomain.com";
$subject = "Ebook Download Hit Report";
$url = "http://www.theurlyouwanttorediertto.com/";
/* ========= end of edit =========== */

$ref = getenv("HTTP_REFERER");
$today = date("d-M-Y [H:i:s]");
$req = getenv("REQUEST_URI");
$req_url = "http://www." . $domain . $req;

$mesg= "Date: $today:\nURL hit: $req_url\nReferred by: $ref\n";
mail("$emailto","$subject","$mesg","From: webmaster@$domain");
header("Location:$url");exit();
?>

-------------- end ------------------

Edit only the following lines in the script above ...

"yourdomain.com" - domain name of the site it's being uploaded to (without the 'http://').
"name@yourdomain.com" - the email address you want the click report sent to.
"Ebook Download Hit Report" - the subject name of the hit report.
"http://www.theurlyouwanttorediertto.com/" - the URL you want to redirect to.

Enjoy!

Mike
