well, i havent tried in a while now, i been busy, i have no examples to give ya cuz in the past month or so i formatted like 3-5 times, lost count at 3. well, heres a idea of what im talkin about, u go to a site, a link goes to members.php?area=profile&member=1 sumthin in that sort... or like when u reply here with phpbb, posting.php?mode=reply&t=141 and u can change the ending and be at a different page... like i wanna do links.php?area=irc&linkid=15 and it would go to a irc releated site that uses the id 15, and i can change linkid to 4 and go to the site releated with the id 4. that was only a example, i have no real plans on a link database type thing, but it seems to fit a basic idea here

There will not be much problem if you already made the page.php?go=somewhere script, you just use something like:

Code:

if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['category'] == 'software') {
if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['id'] == '1') {
// redirect to the software link 1
} elseif ($HTTP_GET_VARS['id'] == '2') {
// redirect to the software link 2
// and so on...
}
} else if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['category'] == 'hardware') {
// do something similar to the above
}
