Use the get_final_url function below to get the final url that a user would be directed to, this code basically calls 2 other functions that iteratively gets the redirect header.

function get_final_url($url){
    $redirects = get_all_redirects($url);
    if (count($redirects)>0){
        return array_pop($redirects);
    } else {
        echo $url."\n";
        return $url;
    }
}


function get_all_redirects($url){
    $redirects = array();
    while ($newurl = get_redirect_url($url)){
        if (in_array($newurl, $redirects)){
            break;
        }
        $redirects[] = $newurl;
        $url = $newurl;
    }
    return $redirects;
}

function get_redirect_url($url){
        $ch = curl_init();

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);
            $html = curl_exec($ch);

            $redirectedUrl = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL);

            curl_close($ch);
            if($redirectedUrl){
                return $redirectedUrl;
            }else{
                return false;
            }
}

Note: php curl is required for this to work.
