Hi y'all,
though I know it's not the nicest thing to do, I'd like to manipulate some external linklists. Some count just hits on a single page (image like 'otherserver.com/image.gif?id=0000'), and some count clicks (href like above).
I need to pretend to call the image from the same file (index.php), but instead have the image tag included in some more files to increase 'popularity' ;-). I guess all lists are smart enough to track referers.
To get down to the point, can someone tell me, if the images are 'include'd thru an extra file containing the img tag, will the referer show the name of the extra file (i.e. 'images.php'), or of the file where it is included (i.e. 'index.php', 'scndfile.php' etc)? And, of course, I don't want to show the images on that second page...
The same goes with the GDlib. If I create a gif image from the counter img, will the referer shown be the file containing the call to GD, or the file where the call is included?
Hope someone can help.
Thanks, Joerg
