First, we need to create a page that allows the user to enter an Advertiser URL and an Advertiser ID, and to click on submit to get the results.
<html>
<head>
<title>LinkShare Automated LinkGenerator</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="AutoLinkGenProc.php">
Sample to use the Automated LinkGenerator Web Service <br /><br />
Enter Advertiser URL:<input type="text" name="AdvURL"><br />
Enter Advertiser ID:<input type="text" name="mid"><br />
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Here is what this will look like:
We also need a page to send the query to the LinkShare server and process the response.
This is the sample code demonstrating how to do this:
<html>
<body>
<?php
"http://feed.linksynergy.com/createcustomlink.shtml?token=<token-ID>&mid=<MID>&murl=<URL-from-merchant>";
$url = "http://feed.linksynergy.com/createcustomlink.shtml";
$token = "5849bcc2fd3a5f3fd9dc2f7d9c08d8924143983a2745f393bf45534b171d9807"; //Change this to your token
$advURL=$_POST["AdvURL"];
$MID=$_POST["mid"];
$resturl = $url."?"."token=".$token."&mid=".$MID."&murl=".$advURL;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $resturl);
$response=curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch))
{
print "Error: " . curl_error($ch);
}
else
{
print $response;
curl_close($ch);
}
?>
</body>
</html>
Here is the result this returns:
http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=KgGHO0LswUU&subid=&offerid=102327.1&type=10&tmpid=2405&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tigerdirect.com%2Fapplications%2FSearchTools%2Fitem-details.asp%3FEdpNo%3D2450694%2526Sku%3DA179-15081
You should be able to use this response to build an image link:
<a href=" http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=KgGHO0LswUU&subid=&offerid=102327.1&type=10&tmpid=2405&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tigerdirect.com%2Fapplications%2FSearchTools%2Fitem-details.asp%3FEdpNo%3D2450694%2526Sku%3DA179-15081"><IMG alt="TigerDirect" border="0" src="http://images.tigerdirect.com/skuimages/large/A179-1508CA-main-ca.jpg"></a>
