Hello all, I wonder how many individual tasks can be done and on how many sites via just a single php script (i.e., a URL link in php scripting). Let me explain my ideas... Say, the following link (a single php file) will open the homepage of this forum site: http://www.larryullman.com/forums/index.php The above php file can be in the form of a text link (like the one above), or built-in in a Flash image (like in any banner ads). Clicking on the link (or a banner ad) will open a new webpage the script is designed to do. Now my question is whether the tasks #4 and #5 of the following process can BOTH be achieved at the same time (triggered by one click): 1. A php link is built-in in an image ad; 2. The ad is served to a participating website (Site 01) - that is, Site 01 now displays the ad on its pages; 3. A visitor to Site 01 clicks on the ad; 4. The script opens a new page on another site (say, Site 02); 5. A Session is created on Site 01, allowing "membership information of the image ad" to stay with Site 01 for a predefined period. In other word, when a visitor clicks on an image ad on Site 01, the visitor will be directed to a new webpage on Site 02, and at the same time, the "click" will also create a session on Site 01 for that visitor, so that if the visitor later comes back to Site 01 and make a purchase, referral fee will be credited to the member of the image ad. Any comment please! Thanks, Cofa
