redirect

Generate a redirect response to redirect the browser.

public  redirect({Array})

It's quite common to redirect the user to an alternative URL. This may be to forward the request to another website, forward them to an authentication page or even just remove processed request parameters from the URL to neaten the URL up.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
$location	string	The URI you want to redirect to
$saveURI	bool	Optionally save the URI so we can redirect back. See: Hazaar\Application::redirectBack()

redirectBack

Redirect back to a URI saved during redirection.

public  redirectBack({Array})

This mechanism is used with the $saveURI parameter of Hazaar\Application::redirect() so save the current URI into the session so that once we're done processing the request somewhere else we can come back to where we were. This is useful for when a user requests a page but isn't authenticated, we can redirect them to a login page and then that page can call this Hazaar\Application::redirectBack() method to redirect the user back to the page they were originally looking for.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
$altURL	string

getURL

Generate a URL relative to the controller.

public  getURL({Array})

This is the controller relative method for generating URLs in your application. URLs generated from here are relative to the controller. For URLs that are relative to the current application see Hazaar\Application::url().

Parameters are dynamic and depend on what you are trying to generate.

For examples see: Generating URLs
