Symfony3 Redirecting

Redirecting¶

If you want to redirect the user to another page, use the redirectToRoute() method:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

public function indexAction() { return $this->redirectToRoute('homepage'); // redirectToRoute is equivalent to using redirect() and generateUrl() together: // return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('homepage')); }

By default, the redirectToRoute() method performs a 302 (temporary) redirect. To perform a 301 (permanent) redirect, modify the third argument:

public function indexAction()
{
    return $this->redirectToRoute('homepage', array(), 301);
}

To redirect to an external site, use redirect() and pass it the external URL:

public function indexAction()
{
    return $this->redirect('http://symfony.com/doc');
}

For more information, see the Routing chapter.

The redirectToRoute() method is simply a shortcut that creates a Response object that specializes in redirecting the user. It's equivalent to:

1 2 3 4 5 6

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RedirectResponse; public function indexAction() { return new RedirectResponse($this->generateUrl('homepage')); }
