Hi everyone, I have a question. I'm using cakephp to develop a video site, like youtube, I want the user to upload their video to the site, but I only want them to wait for the upload, after it is uploaded, I hope the converting process ( using ffmpeg ) run in the background and they will be redirected to a different page. I read in some posts that if I set the $exit parameter of redirect() to false, it will redirect immediately and execute the code after that. So I specified it to false.
The problem in my application is, when a video is uploaded, the page does not redirect me immediately to the "videos=>index" page, I still have to wait for the converting process to be done, then I will be redirect to the "videos=>index" page. So how can I be immediately directed before the video converting starts? Here is a code snippet of my function : if ($this->Video->save($this->data)) { $this->Session->setFlash(__('The Video has been saved', true)); $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'),'',false); $path='/opt/lampp/htdocs/exceltv/app/webroot/uploads/files/ tmp_videos/'.$newFilename.$ext; $out_path='/opt/lampp/htdocs/exceltv/app/webroot/uploads/files/ videos/'.$newFilename.'.flv'; $path_to_save_image='/opt/lampp/htdocs/exceltv/app/webroot/img/ thumb/'.$newFilename.'.jpg'; // The first this we need to do is convert the video $this->VideoEncoder->convert_video($path, $out_path, 480, 360,true); // Then we need to set the buffer on the converted video $this->VideoEncoder->set_buffering($out_path); $this->VideoEncoder->grab_image($out_path, $path_to_save_image); } For this Video model, I used an upload behaviour to handle the upload, so the video has been uploaded before the record it stored in the database. Anyone could explain a bit about the flow of the redirect function?
