using $this->redirect() is the best way to do it.
->redirect() forces the browser into an entirely new request (to a new
URL - either externally, or on the same site). ->forward() merely
passes the execution to another module/action, but does not force the
browser into a new request, so therefore it cannot be to a page
outside of symfony.
As for header(), if you ever need to set header parameters, you should
look at using sfWebResponse::setHttpHeader() (generally you'd do
something like $this->getResponse()->setHttpHeader('Location',
'https://www.paypal.com/...') - though obviously setting the location
header is a waste of time given that we have ->redirect() to do it for
us!)
