To store values in session you can just use the below syntax

$_SESSION['Desired variable name'] = value;

You could try it by using ajax..if you want save points.. like you have a link

<a href="" id="stack-overflow">www.stackoverflow.com</a>
Now in your js file:
$('#stack-overflow').on('click', function() {
count = 1//how many points you want to assign
//send a ajax
$.ajax({
  url:'usersdb.php',
  type:'GET'
  dataType: 'json'
  data: {
   points: count,
      },
  success: function(resp){
  $('#stack-overflow').href='www.stackoverflow.com';
  //now triggered this link
  $('#stack-overflow').click();
  //or what ever msg you want to display
  });
  });

//Now u can get $_POST values in your usersdb.php and save it

if there is another issue the please confirm...and tell me what actually you want. Thanks.

if your stackoverflow.com is external link for your site... then it will be possible using ajax. If it is your site link (for which you want give points) then it is possible using php – SINGH Feb 04 '15 at 07:19

for which link you want to give points is your site(which userdb.php exist) or its external link...because in this case page will redirect to external link page – SINGH Feb 04 '15 at 07:33
