link.php?target=[url] - 02/10/04 09:02 PM
I have a perl script that I've been using since I got UGN Security started that will take and allow users to go to a URL (such as: link.cgi?target=http://www.undergroundnews.com/) and it'll load the page for them as if they just clicked the site, however it'll insert into a flat file the time they went to the site, their IP, and the site URL; it'll also increase the site's "popularity" in the flat file for each ckick. The script however isn't being worked on any further since the author's abandoned it due to it being a buggy piece of crap...
Now, what I want to do is take and have a similar URL string (like: link.php?target=http://www.undergroundnews.com/) that will take and enter the URL to the SQL database if it is new and follow the procedure for adding hits, if it's old it takes and adds a "hit" to the URL's stats in the SQL db and add's their IP/Time/URL to the db...
I'm not entirely sure how to go about it, I just know that I have to get it done ASAP due to this script bringing me more trouble than it's worth; but I have no clue how to begin; any Ideas? All help is appreciated, kudos goes to those who do the work for me (hey, I'm a busy fscking person)...
