url masking w/ cgi or php

is there a script or code where each link that is created at my site would automatically generate and show something similar to this:

http://www.mysite.com/click?php=1
http://www.mysite.com/click?php=2
http://www.mysite.com/click?php=3

instead of the showing the original url location? and the numbers just keeps on going up for each new link that is created....

 

well, I would take this approach.

Create a database and put the different value in.

So when ID 1 comes in it associates with the specified URL in the db.

Then create two frames and load the URL within the larger of the two.

This is very similiar to what Godaddy does when they forward their domains.

I cant seem to figure this out, I currently add afffiliate links through a database and as you may know affiliate links are rather long. I currently use a urls.php file where I add the affiliate URL to the numbered list and it will hide my url and show this instead of the original affiliate link:

http://www.mysite.com/url.php?here=1938

and the number corresponds to the number on the list that I've added it to. The only problem is this is rather a timely procedure, is there any type of coding that would let me just add the long links like normal and it can automatically generate a shorter link hiding my affiliate details? This is can be as simple as a mouseover but I needed it to show each link as a different number. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks for any help at all
