Extracting URL from tweets and getting numbers of tweets containing that url - php

Question

Here I am getting url from tweets, converting that url to long url.
And then getting count value for numbers of tweets containing that url.
if(preg_match($reg_exUrl, $tweet, $url)) {
preg_match_all($reg_exUrl, $tweet, $urls);
foreach ($urls[0] as $url) {
echo "Tiny url : {$url}<br>";\
$full = MyURLDecode($url);
echo "Full url : $full<br>";
if (strpos($full, '//t.co') === true)
continue;
if (strpos($full, '//twitter.com') === true)
continue;
else if (strpos($full, '//bit.ly') === true)
$full = MyURLDecode($full);
$url_count = get_twitter_url_count($full);
echo "Url count: $url_count";
//echo "Numbers of tweets containing this link : ", $code['count']
echo "<br>";
}
} else {
echo "Mismatch<br>";
}
function MyURLDecode($url)
{
$ch = #curl_init($url);
#curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE);
#curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, TRUE);
#curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, FALSE);
#curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$url_resp = #curl_exec($ch);
preg_match('/Location:\s+(.*)\n/i', $url_resp, $i);
if (!isset($i[1]))
{
return $url;
}
return $i[1];
}
function get_twitter_url_count($url) {
$encoded_url = urlencode($url);
$content = #file_get_contents('http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=' . $encoded_url);
return $content ? json_decode($content)->count : 0;
}
problem:
If full_url is again short url then get actual long url
If url is link to twitter photo like http://twitter.com/ADSPLAYINDIA/status/415847973210181632/photo/1 then skip further getting tweet count
I added continue but still it does not skip it

For the first problem try setting follow location to true in your MyURLDecode function
#curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
For your second problem,i think strpos will never return true.Check out this link to a comment on php.net http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php#107240
Please let me know if it helped
