Link masking works only if you're going against simple affiliate thieves.

"Save file as something called coupon10.php"

-I could download your .php file, and open it up in a text editor and see it from there.

Add the following line to your .htaccess file:

-I think the .htaccess file could be downloaded too, and I could swipe your entire list of aff progs.

I think the key is to have a php script which parses the raw link through some form of internal table and redirects using a flag. - so calling on the php might be something like abc.com/redirect.php?=offer34

you might like to google for the "shorturl.php" script, which incorporates clicktracking too.
