    What are you trying to do? The code doesn't make sense.


    Try it this way.
    
<?php

mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("links") or die(mysql_error());
$id = $_GET["id"];
$linkQuery = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `links` WHERE `id`='".$id."' LIMIT 1") or die(mysql_error());
$link = mysql_fetch_array($linkQuery);
header('Location: ' . $link['link']);
?>
    PHP:
