Yii2 redirecting isn't working. Why? - php

Question

I am newbie in Yii2, and now I build new app manually (using Mark Safronov book).
I tried to redirect my controller to somewhere and it isn't working.
Like this:
return $this->redirect(array('/site/dashboard'));
I think it depends on my settings, do you have any ideas? I'm using niceurls and this is my httaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php
It is my View code
And I had next config: common/config/bootstrap.php
Yii::setAlias('yii2_book', dirname(dirname(__DIR__)) . '/yii2_book');
Code in my controller:
public function actionAdd()
{
$customer = new CustomerRecord();
$phone = new PhoneRecord();
if($customer->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) && $customer->validate() && $phone->load(Yii::$app->request->post())){
$this->store($this->makeCustomer($customer, $phone));
return $this->redirect(['index']);
}
return $this->render('add',compact('customer','phone'));

Answer 1

I've had same issue. Considering store(…) method works fine, try to add Yii::$app->end() after redirect. So
return $this->redirect(['index']);
becomes
$this->redirect(['index']);
Yii::$app->end();

Answer 2

The exception says:
yii\web\BadRequestHttpException: Unable to verify your data submission.
This tell you 2 things:
bad request exception (http code 400): Is a server response that is sent when the request done by the browser is invalid. Checking the exception's stacktrace you can see its thrown in the beforeAction of the actionAdd so your redirect isnt the problem, as the exception is before your code.
Yii usually use this exception when the CSRF check is invalid, so you should check this page

Answer 3

check it out , do you have any echo before that ?
if have just clear it by ob_end_clean();
if any echo or header have exist before redirect , it's wont be work !
try :
flush();
or try
ob_start()
if no one works try javascript method :
echo "<script type='text/javascript'> window.location='http://your complete url .. '; </script>";
that will works 100% ,good luck .

Answer 4

Yes please check your config settings.
'urlManager' => [
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'enableStrictParsing' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
'rules' => [
],
]
Also your mod_rewrite module should be enabled.
Hope it helps!
