Using PHP file for cloaking affiliate link

Hi guys

Quick question... so I am trying to clock an affiliate link. I looked up several tutorials on how to do this with php, since it is effective. I have created my .php file in notepad...

I used the following code:

<?php header( 'Location: AFFILIATE LINK' ) ;?>

Now that I have my php file.. where do I upload it? I use FTP.. I host wordpress on my own. I just don't know where to upload the file.

Thank you!

Im a WORDPRESS GENIUS...
You can ask for any osrt of help regarding Wordpress.
Just PM me..

 

Upload it to the main directory (public_html,www,etc..).

Then link: site.com/page.php

Peace,

 

I upload it along with www...public html... etc or do I actually put it in one of these folders? When I tried to just upload it to the main directory, the cloak didn't work.

 

If you upload file.php to the main directory, go to:

site.com/file.php

would you be able to access it?

Do you have htaccess turned on?

Peace,

 

It works now.. thanks!

However, now when I click masked affiliate link.. the new browser still shows my hop link. Is there additional php code I could add so that is masked as well?

Thanks
