I've been searching for hours and can't find anything on this. I'm doing a php curl post request to the sugarsync api and it returns a location in the headers that i need. i have no idea how to get this information. i have to keep it as a post because i post an xml file to their api and all they do is return header information. i have no clue how i can access the location in the headers. according to them i need to put it into another xml file and post that as well. any help is appreciated.

If you set the curl option CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, cURL will follow the location redirect for you.
If you want to get the headers, set the option CURLOPT_HEADER to 1, and the HTTP response you get back from curl_exec() will contain the headers. You can them parse them for the location.
$ch = curl_init($url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); // return HTTP headers with response curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); // return the response rather than output it $resp = curl_exec($ch); list($headers, $response) = explode("\r\n\r\n", $resp, 2); // $headers now has a string of the HTTP headers // $response is the body of the HTTP response $headers = explode("\n", $headers); foreach($headers as $header) { if (stripos($header, 'Location:') !== false) { echo "The location header is: '$header'"; } } See all of the options at curl_setopt().
