yii2 redirect in controller action does not work?

Question

I am posting a form to /user/save in order to save user data. The problem occurs when i try to redirect the user if the $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] is NOT 'post'.

My user controller code

namespace app\controllers; use Yii; use yii\web\Controller; use app\models\MyUser;  class UserController extends Controller {  public function actionSave() {      if(!Yii::$app->request->getIsPost()) {        $this->redirect('/user/index',302);        exit(0);    }     //do something to save user submitted data        }  }//~CLASS 

The is no way to get the redirection to work. Although !Yii::$app->request->getIsPost() is false the call to $this->redirect does nothing!

Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

In Yii2 we need to return() the result from the action.I think you need to add a return in front of your redirect.

  return $this->redirect(['user/index']); 

Answer 2

If you are trying to do redirect in beforeAction() you should use send() method

 return $this->redirect('/some/url',302)->send();
