How to track Curl PHP redirect?

Question

Use the curl to capture data from a page, but is returning the code 301 (moved). I used CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, but it’s still the same. Someone knows how to track redirect?

Answer 1

Usually a setup like this is enough

// Inicia o cURL
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5); // tempo em segundos
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5); // em segundos
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); // true: permite redirecionamento
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 1); // quantidade limite de redirecionamentos permitidos

//daqui em diante você define e outros parâmetros, etc.

I don’t usually know if you’re already doing this use the -L option to track the redirect. Otherwise access the address by the browser and after the redirect replace the URL with the new one.

curl -L <URL>
