Redirection
Controllers can facilitate redirecting users from one place to another using HTTP redirection using the Location
HTTP header.
mysite/code/Page.php
$this->redirect('goherenow');
// redirect to Page::goherenow(), i.e on the contact-us page this will redirect to /contact-us/goherenow/
$this->redirect('goherenow/');
// redirect to the URL on yoursite.com/goherenow/. (note the trailing slash)
$this->redirect('http://google.com');
// redirect to http://google.com
$this->redirectBack();
// go back to the previous page.The redirect() method takes an optional HTTP status code, either 301 for permanent redirects, or 302 for
temporary redirects (default).
$this->redirect('/', 302);
// go back to the homepage, don't cache that this page has movedControllers can specify redirections in the $url_handlers property rather than defining a method by using the '~'
operator.
private static $url_handlers = array(
'players/john' => '~>coach'
);
