soupphysics Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I have a php script that will find some links to some files in a webpage. The problem is that the links on the webpage are links to a redirecting link, and what I am trying to get is the adress that it redirects to. I want to make a list with links directly to the actual url and location of the files, and not links to the location that just redirects to the files. I need someway to make a php script get this adress. When I try to open the redirect link with file(), it just opens the file that it is being redirected to, and I don't want to open the file. Just get the actual adress for it. Hope it makes some kinda sense. Anyone know a way?

trq Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 We need to see a sample of what the redirection code looks like. I'm assuming its javascript, you'll need to parse it to get the address your after.

soupphysics Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 I am not hosting the link that redirects it. However it is standard html redirect. I guess what I need is to be able to get the header for a specific url and location.

kathas Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 you can use http_get() that has default to 0 redirects so u are sure to get the page u want.

soupphysics Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Thanks, I will look into that one. I the mean time I found a solution on php.net on the fopen page though. One person made an example that with a little modification just gives me the header information. But I will check out the on you gave me, and see what's best. Yours actually seem simpler. Thanks.
