I have two addresses for two servers:

www.urlA.com

www.urlB.com

I have all my websites installed in www.urlB.com, but visitors recognize www.urlA.com primarily.

I have www.urlA.com/index.php as the following

<?php
header('Location: http://www.urlB.com/');
?>

But, when I use this forwarding method, the tracking javascript in www.urlB.com cannot recognize where the visitors are from. I only obtain "NO REFERRING LINK"

What should I do to do the following two jobs: 1. to forward urlA.com to urlB.com 2. to receive the referrer information

Try using a 301 redirect:

<?php
header('Location: http://www.urlB.com/', true, 301);
?>

  • Weird, that doesn't seem to make a difference on my test server. In either case, if the redirecting page is accessed via a link, referer data is passed, but if it's accessed directly, no referer data is passed. Whether I use 301 or the default 302 doesn't make a difference.
