How to get final URL after following HTTP redirections in pure PHP?

/**

    if (!$sock) return false;

    $request = "HEAD " . $url_parts['path'] . (isset($url_parts['query']) ? '?'.$url_parts['query'] : '') . " HTTP/1.1\r\n";

Get Final Redirect URL on Tricky Redirects

I Found it my function don't follow javascript and meta tag redirection you can use regex to read the html code and find the javascript/jQuery or meta tag redirection

code to get url form javascript and meta tag redirection :

if (preg_match('/window\.location\.replace\([\s]{0,}[\"\'](.*)[\"\'][\s]{0,}\)/i', $response, $redirect_result['1']) ||
      preg_match('/\$\(location\)\.attr\([\s]{0,}[\"\'][\s]{0,}href[\s]{0,}[\"\'][\s]{0,}\,[\s]{0,}[\"\'][\s]{0,}(.*)[\s]{0,}[\"\'][\s]{0,}\)/i', $response, $redirect_result['2']) ||
      preg_match('/window\.location[\s]{0,}\=[\s]{0,}[\"\'](.*)[\"\']/i', $response, $redirect_result['3']) ||
      preg_match('/window\.location\.href[\s]{0,}\=[\s]{0,}[\"\'](.*)[\"\']/i', $response, $redirect_result['4']) ||
      preg_match('/window\.href[\s]{0,}\=[\s]{0,}[\"\'](.*)[\"\']/i', $response, $redirect_result['5']) ||
      preg_match('/<[\s]*meta[\s]*http-equiv="?REFRESH"?' . '[\s]*content="?[0-9]*;[\s]*URL[\s]*=[\s]*([^>"]*)"?' . '[\s]*[\/]?[\s]*>/si', $response, $redirect_result['6'])) {
    for ($i = 1; $i <= 6; $i++) {
      if ($redirect_result[$i]) {
        $window_location_final = $redirect_result[$i];
        break;
      }
    }
    $window_location_final = end($window_location_final);
    if (substr($window_location_final, 0, 1) === '/' && valid_url(trim($redirect_url))) {
      $window_location_final = rtrim($redirect_url, '/') . $window_location_final;
    }
    $window_location_final = valid_url(trim($window_location_final), TRUE) ? trim($window_location_final) : '';
    if ($window_location_final) {
      $redirect_url = $window_location_final;
    }    
    return $redirect_url;
}

Is there a way I can get the redirect URL without loading the content?

using curl:

$url = 'https://partner.api.beatsmusic.com/v1/api/tracks/tr58141709/images/default?client_id=XXXXXXX';
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch);

// check if we've received a redirect in the Location header
if (array_key_exists('redirect_url', $info)) {
        // do something with the Location header value
        echo $info['redirect_url'];
}

Redirect 1 domain to other base on url ending

This should work. Put this in the index.php file for redirect.com:

<?php
header('Location: http://base.com/q='.$_GET["q"]); 
?>
