    hey guys.
    i was wondering if you guys could help me out.
    ive been trying for a while now but with no luck .
    what i want:
    is it possible to make a php file that will extract the direct link from "phpfile.php?linkid=(number)". without having to click on each one.

    eg phpfile.php?linkid=1 = http://www.google.com.au
    phpfile.php?linkid=2 = http://www.phphelp.com


    thanks in advance.

    james

    Open the URL and read the headers and extract the header location and quit.

    Peace,

    Only if you were silly enough to include() it.
