I.E. the original links (look like this: http://www.source.com/out.php?id=001&url=http://www.linkdestination.com) with the plain link (which looks like this http://www.linkdestination.com). The problem I'm running into is that some of the links are around images. These images display fine when you visit the site, but don't show up when I try and access them from my server. I'm pretty sure that the sites are running .htaccess file to prevent bandwith from being stolen by external sites linking to their images. Anyway, I've been looking into trying to spoof my HTTP_REFERER so that I can see the images on my home server but I cant find a way to do it. The only solution I have found so far is to use a plug-in in my browser (which works). The things is, I figured since I'm already running a .php script to rewrite the link urls it would be good if I could get that script to do the spoofing too. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Malcolm, the line near the bottom that states:

if($amount > $done)

change it to:

if($_REQUEST['amount'] > $done)

As you’ll see, $amount is not set anywhere globally and is only useable within the do_fake_referrer() function.

Basically nothing happens and I suspect its because $done never gets an initial value? Thanks I seem to have a problem running this.
