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.
