PHP redirect to a link in URL

Question

For my affiliate links I want them to be redirect through an intermediate page (calling it routers) to measure certain datas and efficiency.

Assuming I have my affiliate link as www.affiliate.in?id=sdff&para=dshjgsf&aaffid=JAHAJEE and an intermediate page www.mysite.com/redirect.php?someid=1&otherid=2&url=THE_URL_TO_REDIRECT_TO

My problem is that affiliate links have ? and & and so when I use my affiliate link in this router URL, I am unable to get complete $_GET[url] ! Any help on how to do it with these additional parameters intact ?

With {QUERY_STRING} for htaccess. Read document wiki.apache.org/httpd/RewriteQueryString — Bora

Encode the Url

string urlencode ( string $str )

This function is convenient when encoding a string to be used in a query part of a URL, as a convenient way to pass variables to the next page.

pass the THE_URL_TO_REDIRECT_TO to the function

as

 urlencode(THE_URL_TO_REDIRECT_TO )

php.net

Encode your url and use it (urlencode)

<?php 
$afurl = urlencode('http://www.affiliate.in?id=sdff&para=dshjgsf&aaffid=JAHAJEE');
$url = 'http://www.yourdomain.com/redirect.php?someid=1&otherid=2&url='.$afurl;
echo $url;
?>

this urlencode encrypt all of your special characters.

if you want to get url using htacces use the following link. This will guide you lot.

htaccess url as parameter

The major issue i think you get the URL in this format [a-zA-Z0-9|] you need to change it to (.*)
