Ya, my mistake - I left the return variable the same as the input variable.
In this section:
    if ($http_code == 301 || $http_code == 302)
    {
        echo "code is 301 or 302";
        $matches = array();
        preg_match('/Location:(.*?)\n/', $header, $matches);
        $url = @parse_url(trim(array_pop($matches)));
    }
    return $url;
Change the variable $url to something else, like $url2, etc.
Also, it's possible that
if ($http_code == 301 || $http_code == 302)
Isn't evaluating properly, so you might just want to take out that whole
conditional block.
