if your calling it from out side, it won't even load.<br />

if you call it from inside you won't be able to get that info just from a url, you would have had to make a page display that info.

OK I suppose I will have to test it. <br />

@nplib, I'm not sure what you mean?

Hi there, I have just tested this with both the $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] and setting a session on the intranet server and trying to read it on the remote server.<br />
<br />
The results were as follows:<br />
<br />
1. The remote server DID receive the referrer i.e. I made it echo <a href="http://localhost/test.php" rel="ugc">http://localhost/test.php</a><br />
2. The remote server DID NOT receive the session variable.<br />
<br />
This is OK, but it still appears to be important to mask any essential information from the referring page.

If I have a link from an intranet (i.e. web pages only visible from inside our LAN or over a VPN), will the receiving page be able to see details (server, internal url, session variables, post, get vars etc) of the page calling it?

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
