Due to the character limit in Weibo, if you post a URL, it will automatically be converted into a short URL. Several of my previous articles introduced how to convert a URL to a short URL. Here we go the other way and restore the short URL to the actual URL. Please refer to the following program to implement it with PHP:
<?php $url = "http://163.fm/1QLJ8U"; echo unshorten($url); function unshorten($url) { $url = trim($url); $headers = get_headers($url); $location = $url; $short = false; foreach($headers as $head) { if($head=="HTTP/1.1 302 Found") $short = true; if($short && startwith($head,"Location: ")) { $location = substr($head,10); } } return $location; } function startwith($Haystack, $Needle) { return strpos($Haystack, $Needle) === 0; } ?>
The results of running the program are as follows:
