[aaijay]

Can any one help me with finding the redirected url

such as using fpsocket() or fopen()

i would like to define the redirected url to a variable...

 

<?php
$url = $redirectedURL; 
?>

 

Thanks in Advance.

Sorry, your question is pretty vague. What exactly are you looking at doing?

[aaijay]

using some sort of function,

i would like to define a variable with the redirected url using php

like

<?php
$pagehandle =@fopen("http://vidz.ebookzi.com/redirect.php","rb");
$redirectedUrl = ?? // i.e http://vidz.ebookzi.com/redirected.php
?>

whats the goal ?

 

end result?

 

as i still don't know what your trying do to !

[aaijay]

well im trying to get the redirected url of this page

 

http://vidz.ebookzi.com/redirect.php

 

and define in to a variable so i could manipulate it anyway i like

The php itself open the url and gain the redirected url and define it to a variable

 

hope that helps

All i want to know is how to retrieve the redirected URL

and define it to a variable.

[MadTechie]

and its not going well ... take the advice...

[aaijay]

All i want to know is how to retrieve the new URL(redirected one)

and define it to a variable.

[trq]

Sorry, but you fail to explain what you want.

 

All i want to know is how to retrieve the new URL

 

Does this mean the current URL?

 

You need to explain better what it is you want to do. Maybe give an example.

[aaijay]

i want to define a variable with new url,

 

http://vidz.ebookzi.com/redirect.php --this directs to --> http://vidz.ebookzi.com/redirected.php

 

hence using some sort of code i would like to obtain the url "http://vidz.ebookzi.com/redirected.php" and define it to a variable

 

i think its possible by using the function fsocketopen()

 

$fp = fsockopen( "http://vidz.ebookzi.com/redirect.php", 80, &$errno, &$errdesc);
$request = "Referer: ";
$url = ?? //Newurl(Redirected url) i.e http://vidz.ebookzi.com/redirected.php

some thing like this!

hope this explains it

[aaijay]

such as a fucnction

function retrive($redirectpageUrl)
{
**Some code to find the Reredirected url**
return $redirectedURL;
}


retrive("http://vidz.ebookzi.com/redirect.php "); // which should return-->http://vidz.ebookzi.com/redirected.php

Ur my hero prozente

it works really well

but how come i dont get the redirected url for a flash,

im tryng to gain the redirected url of lets say

 

http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/maX6GkyCdEPSl9n5j

 

so my code is

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$service_port = getservbyname('www', 'tcp');
$address = gethostbyname('dailymotion.com');

$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
if ($socket < 0) {
   echo "socket_create() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror($socket) . "\n";
}

$result = socket_connect($socket, $address, $service_port);
if ($result < 0) {
   echo "socket_connect() failed.\nReason: ($result) " . socket_strerror($result) . "\n";
}

$in = "GET /swf/2nWJZC4oOeGTLbZm1 HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$in .= "Host: dailymotion.com\r\n";
$in .= "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1\r\n";
$in .= "Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/x-shockwave-flash,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;text/plain\r\n";
//$in .= "Accept: application/x-shockwave-flash\r\n";
$in .= "Accept-Language: en-us,en\r\n";
$in .= "Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8\r\n";
$in .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
$out = '';
$data = '';

socket_write($socket, $in, strlen($in));

while ($out = socket_read($socket, 2048)) {
  $data .= $out;
}

socket_close($socket);

preg_match("/Location: (.*)\r\n/", $data, $matches);
//$test = preg_match("/http:\/\/www\.dailymotion\.com\/flash\/flvplayer\.swf\?(.*)+/", $data, $matches);
echo $matches[1];
//echo $test;
?>

which just returns the Main page url not the redirected one

any help please.

thanks

Change

$in .= "Host: dailymotion.com\r\n";

to

$in .= "Host: www.dailymotion.com\r\n";

 

They prefer to use only one URL so anyone who enters dailymotion.com will be told to go to www.dailymotion.com

[aaijay]

IT WORKS HURREYYYYYYY!!

prozente Rocks!

thanks soo much.

[aaijay]

is there anyway to find the url without using socket_create() or any socket families, such as using fopen

ive tried the code below but it won't return any value..

$pagehandle=@fopen("http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/2nWJZC4oOeGTLbZm1/","rb"); 
  $contents = ""; 
  do { 
    $data = @fread($pagehandle, 8192); 
    if (strlen($data) == 0) { 
      break; 
    } 
    $contents .= $data; 
  } while(true); 
  @fclose($pagehandle); 
  preg_match("/Location: (.*)\r\n/", $contents, $matches);
return $matches[1];

im using a linux server and the hosting provider doesn't allow any socket family function to execute is there another way to find the redirected url with other function please

 

Thanks in advance
