Need PHP coding help for URL shortening script

Hi...

Would someone please be kind enough to help me with php code to insert into my webpage?

I have a site that shortens a url. It uses an SQL DB. (not important for this, I believe)

I need the php code to keep the shortened url in the address bar after redirecting to the landing page. The way it works now is that it shortens the url but the original url shows in the address bar after reaching the landing page.

Would someone please help me out here?

I hope I am allowed to put the url here? I am not promoting the site. I can not even use it the way it is now.

Moderators, delete this if it is not ok to be here. Thank you.

URL: gourlgo.com

If you would like, I will give you a free webhosting account for helping me get this the way I want it.
(pretty fast server) cPanel, Fantasico, RV Skin, RV Sitebuilder... the works.

Thank you,
John

The best way I would think of doing it is by using frames. - there is quite possibly a better way, but my suggestion would be

The PHP script generates something like

<html>
<frameset rows="100%">
<frame src="http://www.google.co.uk">
</frameset>
</html>

Obviously http://www.google.co.uk is replaced by the address the page is redirecting to.

Hope this helps,
Nick
