pass integer from url to another url

[tableman]

I am trying to get $_GET['subid'] to transfer a variable six digit integer from one url to another.

The process is like this:

A link on a site not mine is clicked opening my page whose url looks like this:

http://abcwebsite.php?subid=xxxxxx

where xxxxxx represents a variable integer of 6 varying digits with no spaces or other characters, but I don't control what the digits are.

Then a link on my page is clicked and another website page not mine opens looking like this:

http://xyzwebsite.htm?source=

source= needs to take on the value of subid.

When I try this:

<?php header ("location:http://xyzwebsite.htm?login=apin&source=".

(int)$_GET['subid']); 
?>

the url shows source=0.

When I try this:

<?php header ("location:http://xyzwebsite.htm?

login=apin&source=".(htmlentities)$_GET['subid']); ?>

the page will not open.

When I try this:

<?php header ("location:http://xyzwebsite.htm?

login=apin&source=".$_GET['subid']); ?>

the url shows no value for source=.

When I try this:

print '<meta http-equiv="refresh" 

content="0;URL=http://xyzwebsite.htm?login=apin&source=?'.(int)$_GET

['subid'].'">';

the url shows source=%3F0

On the same page, the following is working fine to capture the value of subid for inclusion in an email:

<input type="hidden" name="subid" value="<?php echo htmlentities($_GET['subid']); ?>" /> 

I just can't get anything to work for url to url.

maybe you can download a script that creates it automatic you can find one here:
Click counter and download counter

this script also have a counter that you can see how much time the url was accesed try it I have tried it it work fine and easy to install and no database is needed and also you can back up it

[shedokan]

or you can use a script that uses for make tiny url's but it's also a good script or redirect from one url to another

Sorry I forgot to put the link

Thanks for your input, shedokan.

I tried the link you posted, but it did not open.

The solution turned out to be that I had to send the value to the separate php file first:

<a href="http://abcwebsite/separate.php/?subid=<?php echo ($_GET['subid']); ?>

Then the value can be sent to the next url from abcwebsite/separate.php:

<?php header ("location:http://xyzwebsite.htm? login=apin&source=".$_GET['subid']); ?>

Now it works from url to url.
