    <?php
    
    	echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; //this will catch all after www.yourdomain.com so you can know who is referrer
    	
    	header('location:http://www.blablabla.com'); //redirrecting to blablabla.com
    	exit;
    ?>

    This did not work, I tried it and Google Analytical catched original source of traffic.

    I'm not sure what exactly do you want...
    Maybe hideaff.com application for hiding referral links could help?

    I want to be able to hide my referrer URL and traffic source from affiliate networks so that they can't see my landing pages and traffic sources. I have had a bad experience where a network ripped off my landing page and their internal marketing team started using it.

    How would I be able to hide my referrer URL?

    try meta refreshing(its not php, all html but you can use PHP while echoing the dynamic url).. this will hide you all... :D
    search about it on google.

    waiting for your thanks...

    And now for a correct answer to get you going:
    Note that "Double Meta Refresh" (google it) does not guarantee to blank the referrer from all browsers (e.g. Chrome). You should check in the script if the referrer was correctly blanked and only the allow the traffic to go on.

    There are other ways to blank/fake the referrer of course. Start with this one and keep looking.

    Good luck.
