Can Someone Give me a Pointer on Prosper202 Redirecting?

[lllusion]

Okay, so I'm trying to set up Prosper202 tracking with a landing page I created. I was reading through this -

Option 1: Landing Page: Outbound PHP Redirect Code:

This is the php code so you can cloak your affiliate link. Instead of having your affiliate link be seen on your outgoing links on your landing page, you can have your outgoing links just go to another page on your site, which then redirects the visitor to your affiliate link

So for example, if you wanted to have yourdomain.com/redirect.php be your cloaked affiliate link, on redirect.php you would place our outbound php redirect code. When the visitor goes to redirect.php with our outbound php code installed, they simply get redirected out to your affiliate link.

You must have PHP installed on your server for this to work!

<?php
  
  // ------------------------------------------------------------------- 
  //
  // Tracking202 PHP Redirection, created on Mon Oct, 2010
  //
  // This PHP code is to be used for the following landing page.
  // *my web page*
  //                       
  // -------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  if (isset($_COOKIE['tracking202outbound'])) {
    $tracking202outbound = $_COOKIE['tracking202outbound'];     
  } else {
    $tracking202outbound = '*mywebpage*/tracking202/redirect/lp.php?lpip=517&pci='.$_COOKIE['tracking202pci'];
  }
  
  header('location: '.$tracking202outbound);
  
?>

I'm confused about this. Can't I just set up a new subdomain in cpanel and have that redirect to my affiliate link?

Can someone familiar with this tell me the proper way to go about doing what these instructions are telling me to do?

Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it. :cool2:

Copy the PHP code to a blank text file in Notepad.

Save that file as offer.php. (Note: you can name it whatever you like)

Upload that file to your server.

On your landing page, create a link to the file you uploaded, in place of where you would typically have your raw affiliate link.

To add to the above post.

So save the php page you linked as something that makes sense to you...so lets say its a dating offer redirect and your site is Hot Sluts The Best Porn Videos

Well you can save your php file as dating.php then put it in your main domain, probably public_html or whatever folder your index.html file resides.

Well now on your main page www.hotsluts.com/index.html you have a link.

That link says www.hotsluts.com/dating.php. When they click it they go to dating.php which redirects them to the offer.
