I am trying to find a universal way to expand most if not all of the shortened URLs out there. I know short URLs such as bit.ly, TinyURL, goo.gl, etc use the 302 redirection method to redirect you to another site. How can I make a HEAD request to the shortened URL in php and get the "Location" part of the header?
Please help me with this.
Thanks
Forget it everyone. :) With some internet searching, I found this:

It shows me exactly how to do this.
