yii2 redirect in controller action does not work?

Question

I am posting a form to /user/save in order to save user data. The problem occurs when i try to redirect the user if the $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] is NOT 'post'. My user controller code ``` namespace app\controllers; use Yii; use yii\web\Controller; use app\models\MyUser; class UserController extends Controller { public function actionSave() { if(!Yii::$app->request->getIsPost()) { $this->redirect('/user/index',302); exit(0); } //do something to save user submitted data } }//~CLASS ``` The is no way to get the redirection to work. Although `!Yii::$app->request->getIsPost() is false` the call to `$this->redirect does nothing!` Any help appreciated.

Accepted Answer

In Yii2 we need to `return()` the result from the action.I think you need to add a `return` in front of your redirect.

```
  return $this->redirect(['user/index']);
```
