change 'HTTP_REFERER' value

[ionutvmi]

anybody knows if is posible to change the 'HTTP_REFERER' value in php.
For example if an user in on page a.php and click to page b.php on page b.php i want 'HTTP_REFERER' to be set by me.

with php you can edit the headers for HTTP_REFERER, ie. for curl request.

I use GET method, but you can use also cookie or session that can handle the refer.

For a.php

<?php
$refer = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
echo '<a href="b.php?refer='.$refer.'>Link to B Page</a>';
?>

For b.php

<?php
$refer = $_GET["refer"];
echo '<a href="'.$refer.'">Back to referer page</a>';
?>

Hope it helps.
Btw for accurate referrer use CURL.
Curl has function to get the referer.
