Any way to make a site redirection via broswer?

Hey guys!

I dont know much about programming, just a general ideia, and id like to know if there is any way to make what i need.

Im working with shorteners, and i want to redirect the url shortened via api to the actual url.

lets say i use

Code:

http://sho.rt/yourls-api.php?signature=xxxxxx&action=shorturl&format=simple&url=www.url.com

it will give me as result something like sho.rt/x1

I want to automatically redirect it to this shortened page.

Any way?

Regards and thanks!

Are you looking to avoid using a database to store the URLs?
