correct format for .php&redirect=

[stevebremermn@yahoo.com]

I'm working on setting up some affiliate links on a site of mine and I
haven't been able to get a redirect to work.

The original affiliate link looks like this:

http://www.exampleurl.com/index.php?ref=10

Rather than use this link however I am wanting to redirect to specific
product pages. A product page link would look like this:

http://www.exampleurl.com/example-product-1-135_100.html

In the past I have been able to easily set up a redirect link simply by
combining the links with &redirect= such as:

http://www.exampleurl.com/index.php?ref=10&redirect=

http://www.exampleurl.com/example-product-1-135_100.html

I understand this is probably not correct for PHP. I did play around
with it a lot to no avail, including the use of URL encoding. Thanks
in advance to anyone with a suggestion. :)

It's hard to say much without being able to see the relavent portions
from your index.php file, but usually, you have to do something like
header('Locatio n: '.$_GET['redirect']) and then exit shortly there
after. $_GET['redirect'] should, of course, be checked against a white
list, or at the very least, for characters like "\r" and "\n", to
protect against http response splitting.
