    Hi guys,

    I have a URL shortening script that I use on a couple of my domains. It generates a URL like domain.com/recommends/SEO which when clicked on goes to eg. seo.com/?affid=dafiz

    What I would like is for the URL to still be domain.com/recommends/SEO

    Am I right in saying that this can only be done using an iframe?

    Anyone know how to generate the iframe code dynamically?

    I imagine the static code would like something like this:-

    
<html>
<head>
<title>Website</title>
<style>
html, body, iframe
{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
border: 0;
text-align: center;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: auto;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<IFRAME SRC="http://www.site.com" scrolling="yes" width="100%" height="100%" FRAMEBORDER="0" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0" >
</body>
</html>
    Code (markup):

    I think actual frames are still available for this purpose, as well.

    The current bit of code that does the redirect is

    header("Location:".$array['target']);
    Code (markup):
    What code would I need to replace this with to be able to accomplish the result I am after?

    Thanks heaps @goliath (I have left you some rep also)
    I now have some working code. I ended up with the following in place of the header:location code

    echo '<frameset>
	<frame src="'.$array['target'].'">
	</frame>
</frameset>';
    Code (markup):
    And it seems to be working a treat :):)
