passing pre-pop variables to an offers landing page Prosper 202

i made a post a couple weeks ago about this but still have not figured out how to do this the rite way if some one can help i will appreciate it alot

i have A campaign I am about to run requires me to pass email zip code etc as a get variable in the url. For example: offerpage.com?id=204&email=$email.com&zip=$zip
This is also known as a pre-pop, as in “pre-populating” an offer.

The Problem:
So my landing page is all set up. I have a form on there that let’s the user enter his email and I have my Prosper202 tracking code in place. Everything’s great until I have to actually pass that email through Prosper and then to my offer page.
When you “Get LP Code” in Prosper202, you get outbound link
Even if you modify this URL, any additional variables you add will get ignored and lost during the redirection process.

what can i do to pass my pre pop data with prosper ? i am using prosper 202 version 1.7.2 self hosted

It doesn't? Damn. I don't use vanilla p202 or have it installed - though surely someone out there knows the solution to this.

Do you need to use vanilla p202? I have a feeling you may have mentioned wanting to use it due to the on-page vs incoming URL tracking.

Yep, looks like that's an old version of Prosper.

This is still doable in Vanilla Prosper, but you'd need to modify a few files - assuming you're using a POST from a form in your landing page, you'd need to pull the email address in your redirect php (probably using "$_POST[email]"), then append that as a GET variable to the outbound link in the header line at the end of the file.

That would look like

header('location: '.$tracking202outbound.'&email='.$_POST[email]);

Then you'd need to modify the file that the tracking202outbound link sends you to to pass the email on again. I think that's lp.php.

It's a bit of a headache, but should be doable, and you'll only need to do it once. Let me know if you need more info.

No version of Prosper that I know of supports it out of the box - but the latest version of Prosper will support it with the changes I suggest.
