How can I access page info ? (Title,URL, etc...)

tob

I have the following example that will extract the TITLE from a web page successfully but how can I extract the TITLE from a "redirected" link ? (for example.... http://www.somewebsite.com?pageid=123 )
Thanks for any help.

<?php
$file = fopen ("http://www.example.com/", "r");
if (!$file) {
echo "<p>Unable to open remote file.\n";
exit;
}
while (!feof ($file)) {
$line = fgets ($file, 1024);
/ This only works if the title and its tags are on one line /
if (eregi ("<title>(.*)</title>", $line, $out)) {
$title = $out[1];
echo "$title";
break;
}
}
fclose($file);
?>

my short guessing is if it is possible you'll have to do something to execute the page first, but then the whole page will appear on the browser.
If you check around for the PHP's method of redirection it's a header function, it doesn't return any html, only redirects the browser.

sorry I wasn't much helpful, I was more like posting here to click the e-mail notification to see if anyone would make up a better answer, because i'm curious myself

Never mind. The example code works fine with the redirected URL. It's just that the final page had no "TITLE" tag in it so it appeared not to work.
