Max Accepted Bid: Bidding is closed Project Type: Very Small Business Project: under $100 (USD) Bidding Type: Open Auction Categories: Language Specific, PHP Enter chat room for this bid request (0 active users at Jul 15, 2003 11:40:11 PM EDT) Description: Basically I'd like a script where someone clicks on a link that contains variables to be passed on to a site done in PHP. Once people reach the site the variables that are passed on are stored using cookies. The site would work like this... If no variables are passed on to this site there should be predetermined variables in place. Those set variables should only be replaced if someone passes through a url with alternate variables. For example. On the site a link might be something like: http://www.mydomain.com/SOMEWORD.html If someone clicks on a url containing the variables I want that SOMEWORD would be replaced by whatever variable is in the link they clicked on. More detail. A link would be: http://www.mydomain.com/(? echo (isset($_GET["LINK1"]) ? $_GET["LINK1"] : "ERROR"); ?).html Another would be: http://www.mydomain.com/(? echo (isset($_GET["LINK2"]) ? $_GET["LINK2"] : "ERROR"); ?).html If someone just visits the site without passing variables onto the site the "LINK1" and "LINK2" variables would be filled in by the default information (I set) in the script. In other words the script would see if the cookies are present with the information required to replace the variables in those links. If not the default is used. When someone clicks on a link that contains variables to take the place of the default information I'd like that to be stored with cookies because so that the links will be the same for the same person when they return. This is all so that when someone replicates one of my sites instead of them having to alter and upload all the pages they can just send people through a custom link. If you have any questions let me know. Deliverables: 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.

Please correct me if im wrong, also if you see my profile you will notice i have dont some C jobs, and got rated 10, and i also do PHP, so this should not be a problem, just needs to be clarified a bit. Maybe i can even do it today, if you respond fast, Cheers           See 9 private reply(ies) to/from Leonard.
