Heiko Irrgang	Wednesday 16 February 2011 6:40:32 am Hi, i want to redirect from within a own module to another module. I have tried the usual way: header(sprintf('Location: %s', $url)); exit(); But ez stops with a message: "Fatal error: Exponential did not finish its request. The execution of Exponential was abruptly ended," This comes from the exit(), but if i remove the exit, the redirect is ignored. I found the RedirectOperators which allow redirection from a template and i checked the source: They do exactly the same. Why is it working from a template and not from a module? How can i redirect from a module?

If you exit() from the code without explaining Exponential it is on purpose and that the exit is expected, it will complain like this. Use this code: eZExecution::cleanExit(); Bertrand Dunogier eZ Systems Engineering, Lyon http://twitter.com/bdunogier http://gplus.to/BertrandDunogier

Hi, i want to redirect from within a own module to another module.

I have tried the usual way: header(sprintf('Location: %s', $url)); exit();

But ez stops with a message:

"Fatal error: Exponential did not finish its request. The execution of Exponential was abruptly ended,"

This comes from the exit(), but if i remove the exit, the redirect is ignored.
