PHP redirect - does it provide referral?

I'm just starting to learn how to integrate some basic php with my sites. I was wondering if the following redirect code provides a referral to the site it leads to:

<?php
header( 'Location: http://www.siteimredirectingto.com' ) ;
?>

Code (markup):

Example:

My page domain.com/redirect.php leads to siteimredirectingto.com. Can siteimredirectingto.com tell the visitors are coming from domain.com/redirect.php in the referral stats? Or would they just appear as direct links?

Thanks,

siteimredirectingto.com will see the the page which linked to /redirect.php as referer.

 

yep so the answer is yet ;-)

 

If you want to prevent this, you can create a script called something like redirect.php and add the following to your robots.txt file:

Disallow: redirect.php
