Zend Framework url redirect

Question

<?php
 class PI_Controller_Plugin_AssetGrabber extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract
{
public function dispatchLoopStartup(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
{
    /*
        The module name
    */
    $moduleName = $request->getModuleName();
    /*
        This modules requires the user to be loggedin in order to see the web pages!
    */
    $loginRequiredModules = array('admin');

    if (in_array($moduleName,$loginRequiredModules)) {
        $adminLogin = new Zend_Session_Namespace('adminLogin');
        if (!isset($adminLogin->loggedin)) {
            /*--------------------------------------
               Here I want to redirect the user
            */
             $this->_redirect('/something');
        }
    }   
}
}

I'm trying to do a redirect $this->_redirect('/something') but doesn't work! Do you know how can I do a redirect in this case?

Best Regards,

Answer 1

<?php
class AlternativeController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
    /**
     * Redirector - defined for code completion
     *
     * @var Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Redirector
     */
    protected $_redirector = null;

    public function init()
    {
        $this->_redirector = $this->_helper->getHelper('Redirector');
    }

    public function myAction()
    {
        /* Some Awesome Code */

        $this->redirector('targetAction', 'targetController');
        return; //Never reached!
    }
}

You need to get the redirector helper, then you can define the targetAction and targetController with the redirector. That should do it.

Either use Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker to get the redirect helper or do the redirect directly from the Request object.

See the examples given in
