You've got three problems:
* The redirector won't yet be instantiated, so using
getExistingHelper() will not return the redirector object. Use
getStaticHelper() instead.
* The redirector actually sets headers in the response object instead
of emitting them immediately. This means that you have to tell the
response object to send the headers if you want to redirect
immediately (usually this is done automatically for you as part of
the dispatch() routine in the front controller).
* However, most likely, the response object is not even yet
initialized, and because no action controller is in play, the helper
has no way to retrieve it.
Maybe try the following:
class DummyController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
}
$request = new Zend_Controller_Request_Http();
$response = new Zend_Controller_Response_Http();
$action = new DummyController($request, $response, array());
$redirector =
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('Redirector');
$redirector->setActionController($action);
$redirector->goto('index');
$response->sendHeaders();
However, honestly, it would probably be easier to simply call header()
yourself.
