Modifying HTTP REFERER?

How can I edit HTTP_REFERER information? Then every site should see my defined address there, when called for example by PHP. Is this possible?

Documentation is your friend, faster than a speeding bullet.

Your comment is not helping me at all.

The HTTP Referer is set by the HTTP client, usually the web browser, when it accesses a site. If you want to access a site from PHP, you can use CURL. CURL has an option which allows you to set the HTTP Referer:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "yourreferurl")

I'm not sure if that is what you are asking, because you have been very vague in your question.
