you are calling POST call via AJAX request, so, you can't use $this->redirect() in controller from controller method check if was ajax call, if it was, print code below in controller:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=<?php print Router::url($yourUrlArray, true); ?>" /> and after print this, use exit or die; what will this do: this will print this meta tag which will redirect with browser to your new url, you have to modify your javascript post method, that will handle result and display it in browser :) <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=*NEW PAGE URL*" /> -- Lep pozdrav, Tilen Majerle http://majerle.eu 2012/1/22 Tomfox Wiranata <[email protected]> > Hi everyone, > > I have used redirect a thousand times successfully. but this one is > weird. > This is my process.
