How do you keep the HTTP_REFFER in a redirect?

Archbob · 10-13-2008, 01:16 AM

Hi,
Anyone know how PHPAS does this?

I have the following code right now:

Code:

//redirect to game
print "<meta HTTP-EQUIV='REFRESH' content='1; url=$url'>";

The redirection works fine but the problem is using this method, the other sites will not pick up this as a hit sent from my site. Is there a forwarding/redirection method that keeps the referrer page. Anyone know how PHPAS handles this?

Nevermind, AS just uses the php header function which is what I'm doing now.

Well if your still interested.... The browser stores the current page as the referrer when you click a link. It does not do that when you redirect. Servers do the same.

Yeah, I found that out after a while. Oh well, My traffic trading script is fully operational on flashninjaclan.com, only took me a few hours to code it.

a php header() function would still send the original referrer...
