How can PHP be used to correctly handle banner redirection and tracking?

To correctly handle banner redirection and tracking in PHP, you can use a combination of URL parameters and session tracking. When a user clicks on a banner, the PHP script can store information about the click in a session variable and then redirect the user to the desired destination. This allows you to track the number of clicks on the banner and other relevant information. 

// Start the session
session_start();

// Check if the banner click tracking session variable is set
if (!isset($_SESSION['banner_clicks'])) {
    $_SESSION['banner_clicks'] = 1;
} else {
    $_SESSION['banner_clicks']++;
}

// Redirect the user to the desired destination
header("Location: http://www.example.com/destination-page.php");
exit;
