Hello,

Tell me please about right redirects.

One is  
**return** $this-\>redirect(array(  
‘controller’ =\> ‘Pages’, ‘action’ =\> ‘finished’)  
);  
Second is :  
$this-\>redirect(array(  
‘controller’ =\> ‘Pages’, ‘action’ =\> ‘finished’)  
);

Thank you.

What do you mean by being “right” ?

Both will redirect you.

If you want to do modify the response later than use `return`.

I tried to google “Cakephp redirect does not work” and got solution:  
return $this-\>redirect(array(  
‘controller’ =\> ‘Pages’, ‘action’ =\> ‘finished’)  
);  
But I knew , works both and I started to doubt.

Thank you.

Can you try  
return $this-\>redirect(array(  
‘controller’ =\> ‘pages’, ‘action’ =\> ‘finished’)  
);
