fire sql on hyperlink click before opening external link

[drwoowoo]

hi,

i have some links which open other sites in a new window/tab and need to track this activity

am wondering how i can fire some sql yet still spawn a new window:

ie i have the html as:

<a href="http://google.com" target="_new">hr mr lala</a>

yet want to run sql on its click and still fire the new open window

any help much appreciated.

The easiest way would be to change the link to a php script on your site which logs the activity and then forwards onto the target URL.
