How hard is it to snatch up a referring URL...find an affiliate code or ID in that referring URL....and then save that shit to a file or display it on a page?

I'm just learning PHP so if someone could just point me in the right direction.

Sic...you out there dude?

send them to like

url.com/index.php?ref=123456

the on the page:
<?php echo $_GET['ref']; ?>
that prints out 123456
so if you want to transfer it to the next page
<a href="http://www.nexturl.com/index.php?ref=<?php echo $_GET['ref']; ?>">
rinse and repeat

For less typing you could use <?=$_GET['ref']?> instead of <?php echo $_GET['ref'];?>
