Redirect routing is useful when we want to inform client applications that this URL has been moved. The URL can be redirected using the following function.
static Cake\Routing\Router::redirect($route, $url, $options =[])
There are three arguments to the above function −
  • A string describing the template of the route.
  • A URL to redirect to.
  • An array matching the named elements in the route to regular expressions which that element should match.

Example

Make Changes in the config/routes.php file as shown below. Here, we have used controllers that were created previously.
config/routes.php
<?php
   use Cake\Core\Plugin;
   use Cake\Routing\RouteBuilder;
   use Cake\Routing\Router;

   Router::defaultRouteClass('DashedRoute');
   Router::scope('/', function (RouteBuilder $routes) {
      $routes->connect('/generate2', ['controller' => 'Tests', 'action' => 'index']);
      $routes->redirect('/generate1','http://tutorialspoint.com/');
      $routes->connect('/generate_url',['controller'=>'Generates','action'=>'index']);
      $routes->fallbacks('DashedRoute');
   });
   Plugin::routes();
Execute the above example by visiting the following URLs.
  • URL 1 — http://localhost:85/CakePHP/generate_url
  • URL 2 — http://localhost:85/CakePHP/generate1
  • URL 3 — http://localhost:85/CakePHP/generate2

Output for URL 1

Output for URL 2

You will be redirected to http://tutorialspoint.com

The table creation command requires: Name of the table Names of fields Definitions for each field Syntax: Here is generic SQL syntax to create a MySQL table: CREATE TABLE table_name ( column_name column_type ); Now, we will create following table in  TUTORIALS  database. tutorials_tbl ( tutorial_id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT , tutorial_title VARCHAR ( 100 ) NOT NULL , tutorial_author VARCHAR ( 40 ) NOT NULL , submission_date DATE , PRIMARY KEY ( tutorial_id ) ); Here few items need explanation: Field Attribute  NOT NULL  is being used because we do not want this field to be NULL. So if user will try to create a record with NULL value, then MySQL will raise an error. Field Attribute  AUTO_INCREMENT  tells MySQL to go ahead and add the next available number to the id field.
