cURL question, how to return final URL where Im redirected?

[Mikhail Kovalev]

I'm sending a html form with cURL to some file.php which does
something with the sent data and at the end redirects me to some other
URL, which is different every time, something like this:

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
....
$result = curl_exec($ch);

$result here is a string of the resulting page at the end

I need to return the final URL of where I have been redirected when
sending the request

anyone has an idea?=)
thanks

Where do you need to return it to, the site that sent it?

CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL ?

Or you could set CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION and read the Location headers on the
redirect(s).
