How to transfer REFERER PНP?

Question

PHP

Hello!
I have a PHP script that accesses a page on the server, access to which is configured through a referer.
How can I specify in this script the referer of the site from which it accesses the server? And then, the server does not recognize its referrer by default.
Thank you!

Answer 1

It all depends on how the script actually addresses.
If curl_exec() is used, the referer is specified in curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $referer_string).
If the built-in PHP wrapper of the file_get_contents() type is used, then through stream_context_create().
And if everything is done kosherly via fsockopen() - you yourself form the HTTP request...

https://www.php.net/manual/en/context.http.php

<?php
$context = stream_context_create([
    "http" => [
        "method" => "GET",
        "header" => [
            "Referer: XXXXXXXXX"
        ],
    ]
]);

$result = file_get_contents('http://www.ru/', false, $context);
