[SOLVED] curl question

[dtdetu]

hello i want to ask if anyone knows how to get the page name with curl,

 

i mean i use curl to go to a page but that page forwards me to another page, is it possible to get the page name of the last redirection. thanks

some code would be nice, how about using sessions to store the previous url on the redirect??

[dtdetu]

how can i do that, can u give an example please

[gaza165]

<?php
session_start();

function curPageURL() {
$pageURL = 'http';
if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
$pageURL .= "://";
if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
  $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
} else {
  $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
}
return $pageURL;
}


$_SESSION['url'] = curPageURL();


?>

 

 

 

the code above gets the current url for which you are on, then it will store it to a session variable

 

 

then on redirect do the following code

 

this will be on the page it is redircted to...

 

 

<?php
session_start();

echo $_SESSION['url'];

?>

but how can i use this with curl my code is this

 

 $ch = curl_init("$l[link]"); 
       curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'http://www.google.com/'); 
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);   
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
       curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'files/cookie.txt');  
       $result = curl_exec($ch);

 

this code redirects me to some url how can i get that url

[gaza165]

what url is it redirecting to? is a set url? or just a random one?

 

explain what you are trying to do fully.

[dtdetu]

$redirectedurl = $??;

[gaza165]

$redirectedurl = $??;

 

You need to set the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION option to false and the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option to true. Then parse the returned data for the location. The method of redirection determines where you need to look. For example, if you're being redirected with an HTTP header, then you'll also need to set the CURLOPT_HEADER option to true and look for the text after 'location'

hey i found the solution in case someone needs

 

<?
function get_web_page( $url ) 
{ 
    $options = array( 
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,     // return web page 
        CURLOPT_HEADER         => true,    // return headers 
        CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,     // follow redirects 
        CURLOPT_ENCODING       => "",       // handle all encodings 
        CURLOPT_USERAGENT      => "spider", // who am i 
        CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER    => true,     // set referer on redirect 
        CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 120,      // timeout on connect 
        CURLOPT_TIMEOUT        => 120,      // timeout on response 
        CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS      => 10,       // stop after 10 redirects 
    ); 

    $ch      = curl_init( $url ); 
    curl_setopt_array( $ch, $options ); 
    $content = curl_exec( $ch ); 
    $err     = curl_errno( $ch ); 
    $errmsg  = curl_error( $ch ); 
    $header  = curl_getinfo( $ch ); 
    curl_close( $ch ); 

    //$header['errno']   = $err; 
   // $header['errmsg']  = $errmsg; 
    //$header['content'] = $content; 
    print($header[0]); 
    return $header; 
}  
$thisurl = "myurl";
$myUrlInfo = get_web_page( $thisurl ); 
echo $myUrlInfo["url"];
?>
