just assuming you want a script that opens a frame with that URL in it, you could simply write:

Code:

and visit page.php?url=http://somesite.com/

You may want to add some error checking measures, but that would work.

Hi,

You might want to be careful about the legal implications of such a script, if you're linking to big sites. If a lot of people click on your links, these sites may get very annoyed at you having an advertising frame above their site.

Also, you should replace $url with $_GET['url'] Wink

In the latest versions of PHP, importing of variables from the query string isn't done by default, so $url wouldn't exist. Only $_GET['url'] would. It's just a good habit to get into (just like coding properly - indentation, spacing, etc...).
