So I just came up with a solution. I made a new function that will
handle this for you. A little extra overhead due to the one request up
front, but in my case I rarely do this.
/**
* Return the URL that the given URL redirects to (302). If no
redirect
* exists, passed in $url will be returned.
* @param $url
* @return string the url to call
*/
function getRedirectIfExist($url) {
$headers = get_headers($url,1);
return (!empty($headers[0]) && strstr($headers[0],'302') && !empty
($headers['Location']))?$headers['Location']:$url;
}
