How to do a redirect that splits traffic between two pages?

[Cap'nShplanky]

Have searched the forums and can't find what I'm looking for although I may have overlooked it.

I just want to do a really simple A/B redirect, so that when I send traffic from yahoo answers or similar places, it hits a page on a site that i own; then half the traffic goes to some kind of pre-sell page and half goes straight to the offer.

Seems like something that would be simple to figure out, but I haven't figured it out yet. I've done some really basic jury-rigging in my wordpress templates to create new fields and drop-downs with various fields etc. but that's about the extent of my php knowledge thus far.

Is there something simple I can do here or do I just need to hit a php forum/tutorial to figure this kind of stuff out?

If your using WP then LP Jumper - Split Test Multiple Landing Pages with Ease! should work.

Or something like this?

<?php
//Random number 1 or 2
$absplit = rand(1,2);

if ($absplit = 1)
{
header("Location: DIRECTLINKURL");
}
else
{
header("Location: LANDERURL");
}
?>
