Htaccess help
We have an URL rotator script that grabs a random URL from a text file in the same directory. So when a visitor clicks on a link, they will get redirected to the randomly chosen URL.
Now we want to pass a variable along with the chosen URL, like this:
1) Visitor arrives at our site such as
http://www.oursite.com?variable=THEVALUE
2) Visitor clicks on a link on our page to
http://www.oursite.com/randomurlscript
3) Random link is chosen and visitor is redirected to:
http://externalwebsite.com?somevariable=THEVALUE
We'd like to do this as simply as possible, so if there is an .htaccess solution that might be best, or a session/cookie solution or else you can modify the randomurl script. We are also open to using a new randomurl script if that's easier. All it needs to do is allow us to enter multiple URLs to choose from, and then append the variable as previously described.
