How can I track clicks for the links in my link list using PHP?

To track clicks for the links in your link list using PHP, you can create a database table to store the link URLs and a click count. Then, whenever a link is clicked, you can increment the click count for that link in the database. Finally, you can redirect the user to the actual link URL. 

// Connect to your database
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "your_database";

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Get the link ID from the URL parameter
$link_id = $_GET['link_id'];

// Increment the click count for the link in the database
$sql = "UPDATE links SET clicks = clicks + 1 WHERE id = $link_id";
$conn->query($sql);

// Get the actual link URL from the database
$sql = "SELECT url FROM links WHERE id = $link_id";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
$row = $result->fetch_assoc();
$link_url = $row['url'];

// Redirect the user to the actual link URL
header("Location: $link_url");
exit();
