how can i automatically redirect people to a unique url given in an api response

[jamied]

I am working with an api that gives this response in this format each time it is called:

>     OK|*random sequence of numbers*|http://response.com/0/123456

How can i automatically redirect people to response.com url?

Below is the current PHP script i am using

    <?php

    $url = 'http://example.com/api/';
 
    $ch = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
    $result = curl_exec($ch);

First you'll have to parse the response. Any luck with that? What code have you tried?

1. Use preg_match() to parse this URL (you will need to parse it from $result variable).

 

2. Use header() to redirect to this URL.
