Php preg_match() function

[csdname]

Hi.
If I use the php function preg_match( ) to get code from other website they will save the visit and my website like a Referrer???

Thanks.

Surely you aren't using that function to get code?

From the manual:
preg_match() returns the number of times pattern matches.

you can't download site using preg_match, show us bigger part of code :/
but universal answer:
visit can be logged in every way, just for example google analytics uses javascript so they will not see you downloading bot, but other script can log it... and you can change referer for you bot, because referer is sending browser...

they'll see your ip number in their logs
