I need a function FUNCTION(URL1) = URL2 to which URL1 is redirected.

And the answer is . . . ?

Thanks,

What are you trying to do?  PHP doesn't know anything about redirections 
other than being able to use the header() call to generate a redirection.

Is this a quiz? Is this a moved permanently or moved temporarily?

It depends on why you want to do this, .htaccess would probably be the 
preferred method to do this, not PHP.

Actually, the only way I know how to do this is to send a HTTP HEAD 
request.  It will come back with 301 or 302 and the new location. I 
think the OP wants the function to return the redirected URL which would 
be useful for updating bookmarks.  Or to flag a stale link to be updated 
manually.

I didn't think there is such a thing in PHP, but it turns out you can if 
you use the curl stuff.  Didn't try actually getting anything to work, 
but you could futz with

http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-exec.php

and perhaps get the headers of a HEAD request through CURL.  That might 
get you the info you want.
