This script was born out of a frustration at not being able to find any halfway decent PHP link redirection scripts. Most of them required either possibly installing some SQL tables or editing a file for every link added.

This script encodes URLs dynamically and on the fly, without any databases or external files.

I do not, by any means, claim that this script is perfect but it does provide basic obfuscation of your affiliate links and such. So if you want to cloak your affiliate links before redirecting them elsewhere, this might be the script for you.

This also enables tracking of how many hits your links get, if you use the SEO URL, since SEO URLs will show up in your log files. If you want click tracking only and do not care about obfuscation, you can set the variable $redirshift to 0.

I tried to make this script as easy as possible to setup and use, allowing for both manually generated URLs and ones created dynamically, as well as both SEO and non-SEO.

Like this script and find it useful? Why not donate a dollar or two so I can buy shinies and work on more scripts?
