I have tens of thousands of links. All links will redirect visitors to
another URL (the real URL). I want to know the real URLs behind those
redirecting URLs.

I just wrote a small piece of code to do it:

$result = HTTP::head($link);
if (PEAR::isError($result)) {
echo "Error: " . $result->getMessage()."<br>";
} else {
$chunks=split('%2F',$result['Location']);
echo "\t".$chunks['2'].'<br>';
}

It works, but it is simply too slow to get the real (destination) URLs
for tens of thousands of redirecting URLs.

Is there a fast way to do that?

Thanks,
