Redirect script + setting referrer manually?

    Hi,

    example I'd like to have is considering following scenario:

    Visitor ---> mydomainA.com/redirect.php --> mydomainB.com

    Can I set any referrer manually in the redirect.php script? I.e. when visitor gets redirected to Site B, the Site B sees only mydomainA.com as the referrer and not the full long URL of mydomainA.com/redirect.php ?

    How would I accomplish that?

    Would be grateful for any ideas!

    Thanks
    Michael

    The referer is sent by the browser and can't be modified by a script like you want.

    Yes, now if someone can write me such a working "spoof" script embedded in a redirect I'll be willing to pay a small "donation". Those who know who can do that can PM me.
