Don't lose your website visitors when they link out of your website!! A short frame with "Back To My Site" and "Remove Frame" will be added to the top of any external URL link.

This script entails two files: redirect.php, and top.php.

                            Here's the code for redirect.php:

                            

                            <?
 # Redirect.php Copyright 2001 Jim Fletcher jim@WebsiteCode.com

                            #

                            # This script, when called, will look like:

                            # redirect.php?backtext=Back+To+My+World&backlink=http://www.myworld.com&linktitle=Microsoft+Website&url=http://www.microsoft.com

                            #

                            # All variables are optional, and you may set the default for left-out variables below.

                            #
 if (!$sitetitle) {

                                $sitetitle="WebCustomerService.com";

                            }

                            if (!$url) {

                                $url="http://www.websitecode.com";

                            }

                            if (!$backtext) {

                                $backtext="Go Back To Site";

                            }

                            if (!$backlink) {

                                $backlink=$HTTP_REFERER;

                            }

                            if (!$linktitle) {

                                $linktitle="Redirection";

                            }
 ?>

                            Here's The Code for top.php:

                            

                            <html><head>

                            <SCRIPT Language="Javascript">

                            <!--

                            function RemoveFrames()

                            {

                               parent.location.href = parent.LinksFrame.document.forms[0].elements[0].value;

                               return false;

                            }

                            

                            function OpenPopup(strFileName)

                            {

                               popupWnd=window.open(strFileName,

                                  "PopupWindow",

                                  "toolbar=no,width=370,height=240,directories=no,status=no,scrollbars=yes,resize=no,menubar=no");

                            }

                            //-->

                            </SCRIPT>

                            

                            </head>

                            <BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF LINK=#000000>

                            <!--javascript:top.location = parent.document.referrer;"-->

                            <TABLE WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="2" BGCOLOR="#CCCC99"><TR ALIGN="CENTER"> 

                            <TD NOWRAP><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="1"><B>� <b><a href="<? echo $backlink; ?>" target="_top"><? echo $backtext; ?></a> | <A HREF="<? echo $url; ?>" target="_top">Remove Frame</A></b>

                            </body>

                            </html>

Usage Example

If you set all the variables in the script, then you can just link to script as: redirect.php?url=http://www.wherever.com


                            

                            However, if you want to specify any or all of the variables on a link by link basis, then a link might look like: redirect.php?sitetitle=My+World+Inc.&backtext=Back+To+The+My+World+Website&backlink=http://www.myworld.com&linktitle=Microsoft+Website&url=http://www.microsoft.com
