Redirect after Post

Question

Hi,

After form (method POST) submission i want redirect user to specific page.

usually i used simple line

header("Location: /path/to/redirect/");
exit;

The Zend_Controller_Action have method _redirect example:

$this->_redirect("/path/to/redirect/");

But it have one simple problem: if i refresh page (press F5) last controller action is activated. So its like double post.
Of course i can use old fashion way, but I just want find the zend style redirect.

Edit: p.s after post redirect i want have cleaned form data. Of course i can use own method with header("location:/path") but I searching it implemented in standart zf

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Set a session variable that data has been posted, if not post data, redirect?

I think thats because _redirect uses an internal redirect. You need to use an external one. You need to use the Redirector action helper directly... in your action:

$this->_redirector->gotoUrlAndExit($url);
