hi there,
I'm using $this->_forward() in a controller method to forward the
request onto a login page, this can't be done that easily in pre-
dispatch since different methods have different requirements for ACL
and we have a rather complex custom route system going on (part of
which happens in specific controllers). At present we're not using
Zend ACL.
It seems the default behaviour of _forward() is to continue processing
the current method's code, and then forward to the new controller/
action. So if multiple forwards exist in that method's code, only the
last one actually works.
Is this correct? I had presumed _forward() would forward to the new
controller/action and exit the code at that specific point. Is this
possible? Or do I have to just return from the method at that point in
the code? I.e.
$this->_forward("index", "login");
return;
Further to this, if the above is the recommended way to forward and
quit the current method then this of course becomes problematic if I
abstracted the login check. I.e. if I called a function to do
something like:
$this->checkLogin();
And the function checkLogin() did the necessary ACL check and also
included the forward() - to avoid DRY.
comments appreciated!
Simon
