Link click detection?

[Bruce W...1]

How might one detect if someone clicked on a hyperkink at your website,
so it can be logged in a database? This would have to be done before
the browser redirects.

Thanks for your help.

The only way you can be sure is to not put any external links on your
pages directly, but have them point to a redirect script. That script
will take a GET parameter and redirect the browser to the givven url
after loggin whatever you might seem fit.

redir.php
<?php
doLogginStuff();

header("Location: {$_GET['url']}");
?>

BTW don't forget to urlencode the actual url.
