Server

Base Controller class.

All controller classes extend this class. Normally this class would only be extended by the controller classes provided by Hazaar MVC, as how a controller actually behaves and the functionality it provides is actually defined by the controller itself. This controller does nothing, but will still initialise and run, but will output nothing.

Full name: \Hazaar\Xml\Rpc\Server
Parent class: \Hazaar\Controller
This class is an Abstract class

redirect

Generate a redirect response to redirect the browser.

public redirect(string $location, bool $saveURI = false): \Hazaar\Controller\Response\HTTP\Redirect

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(?string $altURL = null): false|\Hazaar\Controller\Response\HTTP\Redirect

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(): \Hazaar\Application\URL

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
