HTTP Header Referrer Cheating using PHP

I need to make a false referrer to certain pages using PHP.

In my http://www.a.com/header.php page I tried the following code

header("Referer: http://www.b.com\n");
header("Location: http://www.c.com");

But this doesn't work, at least for Google Analysis. Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Maybe you can change and compile browser source code (some browsers are open source of course)

The Referer is an information sent from the browser to the server -- not the other way arround.

As google analytics has nothing to do with your server (it works via some Javascript code, which is called from the client), there is not much you can do.
