Yeah, but actually, the redirect.php file should look like:

<?php
$url = $_GET['url'];
header('Location: ' . $url);
?>

That will send the user to whatever is entered for url=. It should be pretty easy to change all of your outgoing links, but I too am unfamiliar with WordPress, otherwise I would tell you what code to change. I have done this exact thing with phpBB, does WordPress have some sort of code that you use in posts (like phpBB's bbcode)? So long as it does have such a thing, once again, it should be very easy to do what you are trying to do.

Quote: i want that link to be http://mysite.com/redirect.php?url=http://google.com or somthing along thoose lines.

That could be done very easily. The redirect.php page would just have something like:

<?php
header("$url");
?>

or if you wanted to track the redirected links add that on the page too, add the link ($url) to the database (be sure to validate the url and strip any nasties), just don't output (print to screen) anything before the header() function or you'll get an error

To add the http://mysite.com/redirect.php?url= bit you could modify the database contents, or just add the variable to the links, something like:

$add_url = "http://mysite.com/redirect.php?url=";

then in the page, would be something like "><?linkname?> and just add the above into it, like so <?=link?>"><?=linkname?>

I've never used wordpress so am not sure how the things coded, the above is standard PHP
