Hi Nicolas,
In cakephp using $this->redirect(array('controller'=>'anycontroller',
'action'=>'index')); works same as function
Header('Location: *http://www.example.com/anycontroller/index*'); works in
php. It is easy to understand
as both the functions works to redirect the control to given url. However
we can use $this->redirect(‘http://www.example.com/anycontroller/index’);
it is exactly same as $this->redirect(array(‘controller=>’ anycontroller’,
'action'=>'index')); The only difference
is that in the former one we are redirecting the control by passing exact
url and in the later one it is pre-understood
that we want to pass control to the *index* action of controller named
*anycontroller
*that will find on the webroot of location
*http://www.example.com, *that is
*‘**http://www.example.com/anycontroller/index’
*hence we just pass the controller name and
the action name in an array where we want to redirect our control,
and if we only pass the array('action'=>'index'), it means we want to pass
control to the index function of same controller of same site.
for better understanding i prefer to read
http://book.cakephp.org/view/982/redirect ,
and for good cakephp manual can be reached on the official site of cakephp
that is
http://book.cakephp.org/view/982/redirect#!/view/879/Beginning-With-CakePHP
beside this *array('controller' => 'anycontroller', 'action'=>'index') *is
in basic php syntax is an associative array
having 2 instances. First instance has key:* 'controller' *and value
*'anycontroller'
*and second instance
has key:* 'action' *and value *'index'*. For better understanding go to
http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php
I hope it can help you
Thanks
