[SOLVED] get redirected url

[neugi]

hi,

 

is there a way go get the new url of a redirection from an external server?

 

for eg.: http://www.test.com/red=addItem

will be redirected to this url: http://www.test.com/additem.php

 

is there a way go get this url with php?

 

thx

header("LOCATION: http://www.test.com/additem.php");

 

when you have your thing like...

 

switch ($red) {

 

case additem:

header("LOCATION:http://www.test.com/additem.php");

break;

 

}

 

note that the header command will not work if any html has been passed before you call it.

<?php

$pagename = $_GET['red'];

header("Location: $pagename.php");

?>

okay here is an eg from a nother page that explains such problem:

 

http://www.abdulqabiz.com/blog/archives/flash_and_actionscript/constructing_youtube_1.php

 

on this page they are entering a url from youtube to get the real url of the flv file.

 

they create the new url with the action script an i would need something like this in php.

 

i hope this will help
