      $afftag = 'harshk'; //our affiliate ID
        $affstring = 'affid='; // url parameter for affiliate ID
        if (parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY)): //check if link has query string
            if (strpos($affstring, $url) !== true) : //check if link already has affiliate ID
                $url = preg_replace("/(".$affstring.").*?(\z|&)/", "$1".$afftag."$2", $url);
        else:
                $url = $url.'&'.$affstring.$afftag;
            endif;

    $params = [];
    if (isset($url_components['query'])):
        parse_str($url_components['query'], $params);
