Any way i can use fsockopen to detect url redirections? for example if ds:
www.ex1.com redirects to www.ex2.com and i'm using:

$fp =3D fsockopen(www.ex1.com, 80)
.....

to connect to the site, anyway i can know if there is a redirection to
another url?

Re: using fsockopen to handle redirections

I suppose you could, but it seems a poor way, just use the header tag instead:

if ($redir_needed) {
header('Location: http://www.example.com');
writelog("user redirected");
}
