How do i get the redirected url using CURL ?

[eli03]

i can used curl to visit the page but how do i get the exact url of the redirected url?

example:
url : http://hotscripts.com/jump.php?listing_id=51602&jump_type=0

i like to get the redirected site which is http://www.scriptsjoint.com/shopfinder.php .

thanks,
eli

Turn CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION off to prevent the redirect from taking place; obtain the response headers and look at the Location: field.

I say all this without having made any sort of attempt at trying it myself; it's based entirely on looking in the manual.

thanks got it, but the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION must be turn on in order to get the right redirected url. 😃

Right. So you could make two calls with CURL. One to get the redirect URL... and then turn on CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION to actually get to the page. Like WP, I'm making this up as I go along. 🙂
