Redirect Response

Default Behavior

• new RedirectResponse('/path') returns HTTP 302.
• new RedirectResponse('/path', permanent: true) returns HTTP 301.
• the Location header is always set from the provided URI or string.

Temporary and Permanent Redirects

use FastForward\Http\Message\RedirectResponse;

$temporary = new RedirectResponse('/login');
$permanent = new RedirectResponse('/new-home', permanent: true);

Relative and Absolute Locations

Both strings and UriInterface instances are accepted:

use FastForward\Http\Message\RedirectResponse;
use Nyholm\Psr7\Uri;

$relative = new RedirectResponse(new Uri('/profile'));
$absolute = new RedirectResponse('https://example.com/profile');

Using Other Redirect Status Codes

If you need 303 See Other , 307 Temporary Redirect , or 308 Permanent Redirect , create the response first and then refine the status:

use FastForward\Http\Message\RedirectResponse;
use FastForward\Http\Message\StatusCode;

$response = (new RedirectResponse('/orders/42'))
    ->withStatus(StatusCode::SeeOther->value);

Beginner Tip

Use the constructor for the common 301 and 302 cases. Use withStatus() only when you intentionally need a less common redirect semantic.
