Link And Http Referer

If I set a link with a target that opens like this in a new window will the website (i.e google) know what the referring website is.

Depends on your browser, but for the most part yes.

# 0000000034 - TIME: 10.02.2004 - 17:22:49 IP: (IP) DNS-Name: (DNS-NAME) Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) FROM: https://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?showt...=0&#entry866763

I guess your are right. Would you (or anybody) know how to stop a website from knowing what the referring website is.

That not going to do me any good. I want my website to have links to other website but i do not what the other website to know that the referring website is mine.

it should be possible to create a seperate page to load them from - as long as you can get a php enabled page which isnt located with your website (maybe a free service)

the code on your page to link to google would be stg like this:

Code:

&#60;a href=&#34;http&#58;//www.dumbpage.com/page.php?ref=http&#58;//www.google.com&#34;&#62;Google&#60;/a&#62;

then the dummy page would have code with

Code:

&#60;?php
if &#40;&#036;_GET&#91;&#34;ref&#34;&#93;&#41; { &#036;ref=&#036;_GET&#91;&#34;ref&#34;&#93; };

print&#40;&#34;&#60;meta http-equiv=&#39;refresh&#39; content=&#39;0; url=&#036;ref&#39;&#62;&#34;&#41;;

?&#62;

Now i havent checked this, but i reckon it should work

Code:

Parse error&#58; parse error, unexpected &#39;}&#39; in /sda3-dev/webpages/departments/pdht/pdhtstudentwebpages/ariel_llamado/redirect.php on line 2

does not seem to work

. do you know what is wrong ?

Chage:

if ($_GET["ref"]) { $ref=$_GET["ref"] };

to:

if ($_GET["ref"]) { $ref=$_GET["ref"]; }

It should be:

Code:

&#60;?php
&#036;refresh = &#34;&#34;;
&#036;style = &#34;&#34;;
&#036;text = &#34;&#34;;
&#036;title = &#34;&#34;;
if &#40;&#33;&#40;isset&#40;&#036;_GET&#91;ref&#93;&#41;&#41;&#41;
{
	&#036;refresh = &#34;&#34;;
	&#036;style = &#34;&#092;n&#092;t&#092;t&#092;t&#092;tcolor &#58; #000000;&#092;n&#092;t&#092;t&#092;t&#092;tfont-family &#58; arial;&#092;n&#092;t&#092;t&#092;t&#092;tfont-size &#58; 12px;&#092;n&#092;t&#092;t&#092;t&#092;tfont-weight &#58; normal;&#092;n&#092;t&#092;t&#092;t&#092;ttext-align &#58; justify;&#092;n&#092;t&#092;t&#092;t&#092;ttext-decoration &#58; none;&#092;n&#092;t&#092;t&#092;t&#092;ttext-style &#58; normal;&#34;;
	&#036;text = &#34;&#092;n&#092;t&#092;tError&#58; A URL was not specified.&#34;;
	&#036;title = &#34;Error&#34;;
}
else
{
	&#036;refresh = &#34;&#092;n&#092;t&#092;t&#092;t&#60;meta http-equiv=&#092;&#34;refresh&#092;&#34; content=&#092;&#34;0; url=&#34;.&#036;ref.&#34;&#092;&#34; /&#62;&#34;;
	&#036;style = &#34;&#34;;
	&#036;text = &#34;&#34;;
	&#036;title = &#34;Redirecting...&#34;;
}

print&#40;&#34;&#60;&#34;.&#34;?xml version=&#092;&#34;1.0&#092;&#34; encoding=&#092;&#34;UTF-8&#092;&#34; standalone=&#092;&#34;yes&#092;&#34; ?&#34;.&#34;&#62;&#34;&#41;;
?&#62;

 &nbsp;&#60;meta name=&#34;author&#34; content=&#34;haxor41789&#34; /&#62;
 &nbsp;&#60;meta http-equiv=&#34;content-type&#34; content=&#34;application/xml+xhtml; charset=UTF-8&#34; /&#62;&#60;?php print&#40;&#036;refresh&#41;; ?&#62;
 &nbsp;&#60;title&#62;&#60;?php print&#40;&#036;title&#41;; ?&#62;&#60;/title&#62;
 &nbsp;&#60;style type=&#34;text/css&#34; media=&#34;screen&#34;&#62;
 &nbsp;	html, body
 &nbsp;	{
 &nbsp; &nbsp;background-color &#58; #ffffff;
 &nbsp; &nbsp;border &#58; 0ex #ffffff solid;&#60;?php print&#40;&#036;style&#41;; ?&#62;
 &nbsp;	}
 &nbsp;&#60;/style&#62;
	&#60;/head&#62;
	&#60;body&#62;&#60;?php print&#40;&#036;text&#41;; ?&#62;
	&#60;/body&#62;
&#60;/html&#62;

I doubt if this works, as I did this really fast.
