Redirect

Overview:

Redirect provides HTTP redirection helpers using Response.

Use Redirect to centralize HTTP redirection behavior, including referrer fallback and URL filtering before location output.

Public API:

• Redirect::to($url, $status = 302) sends a redirect.
• Redirect::back() redirects to the HTTP referrer or redirect_uri.
• Redirect::viaJavaScript($url, $parent = false) performs JS redirect.

Filters:

• All URLs are passed through Filter::with('core.redirect', $url).

The Redirect module handles request agent redirection to other locations.

HTTP Redirect

---

A simple Location header redirection can be achieved via the Redirect::to($url) method.

if ( ! Session::get('loggedUser') ) Redirect::to('/login');

Warning :

The to method performs an immediate exit.

JavaScript Redirect

---

The Redirect::viaJavaScript($url) method send to the browser a script for location redirection.

Redirect::viaJavaScript('/login');

This outputs :

<script>location.href="/login"</script>

If the optional boolean parameter $parent is passed as true the parent.location object is used. This is useful for redirecting inside iframes, like in Facebook Page Tab apps.
