从PHP中的流URL获取位置

Question

I'm trying to get the redirect url from a stream using php.

Here's the code I have right now:

<?php 
$stream = 'https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/178525956/stream?client_id=XXXXXX';
$ch = curl_init($stream);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$url = curl_exec($ch);
echo $url;
curl_close($ch);
?>

Which outputs as a string:

{"status":"302 - Found","location":"THE_URL_I_WANT"}

So how ould I go about getting the url I want as a variable? Thanks

Answer 1

It's simple use json_decode

$data = json_decode($url);
$your_url = $data->location;

Answer 2

How about

$data = json_decode($url);
$location = $data["location"];
