actually this is how i did it:

1. i have a textbox for the user to encode the url
2. by $_POST['x'] ill evaluate the url if valid or not using
file_get_contents().
if(!file_get_contents($x){
// do actions here..
}

however i dont know if what is wrong, file_get_contents() works
perfectly on
my local machine but upon loading to our webserver, it doesn't work
at all.

3. the next action is to $x as param value 'http://www.my...com?url='.
$x.
now this url will then dynamically produce another url. and that
new url is
the one that i want to get and assigned it to a string.

but i want all process to be totally invisible to the user. because
after
successfully getting the new url i post a message like your new url
is ...

is this possible? how to do this?
