I get my page content with this function:

     private function fetch_url($url){
     $ch=curl_init($url);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 320);
     $this->doc = curl_exec($ch);
     $this->status_code= curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
  //   echo $this->doc;

     curl_close($ch);

 }

The problem is that with some urls dont exist on a webpage and there is a redirect to another page..

So say if I put the parameter:

http://example.com/uncategorized/

It redirect me to :

http://example.com/mature/

The problem is with curl, I dont get any content.. But my aim is to get the content of that page redirect..

Is there an easy way to get the function to work in the way I want..?
