Posting using Curl and php link error

I'm having issues posting to facebook using php & cURL I have posted my code to pastebin

http://pastebin.com/pQdXq0Pi

The link is the issue. If I use the google shortened url the post doesn't show on the feed. If I change to the long url the post will show.

confused...

obviously I have removed the access token and changed the other variables to just names.

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

i guess the problem is that the short url involve a redirect ... try add

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); to follow the redirect

Facebook needs to be able to follow through the redirect if it cannot, then no data will be scraped.
