Redirect problem

[manlio]

Hi, I'm try to develop a front end area and I have a little problem.

I'm on windows 8.1 and I use Wamp server.

When I use a redirect with short syntax like this

 $session->redirect('/profile/');

bring me to localhost/profile and doesn't find the page

If I use page syntax everything is working:

 $session->redirect($pages->get("/profile/")->url);

bring me to localhost/Processwire/profile

I would like to use the first easiest way. Can you help me?

Thanks

The first way may be shorter, but it isn't correct if you want to redirect to the page that has the path /profile/. In this case, the redirect() method does not expect a "ProcessWire Page Path", but simply does what you ask it to do, redirecting to [root]/profile. As if you would create a link:

<a href="/profile/">Foo</a>

Thank you Marcus. I'm using code by Ryan so I was thinking was a good practice https://processwire.com/talk/topic/1716-integrating-a-member-visitor-login-form/?p=15919.

Anyway how I can  set in the right way the root in Processwire? Because also links point to localhost/profile instead of localhost/Processwire/profile

Thank you agian

The problem is the folder and the relative urls. 

$session->redirect('/profile/');

This redirects to a page directly under root. For example: this code will redirect to _{http://manlio.com}/profile/.

A ProcessWire url knows where the page is located (including if it's installed in a folder).

So:

$session->redirect($pages->get("/profile/")->url);

Will redirect to _{http://manlio.com}/Processwire/profile/.

The root url $config->urls->root  (including subfolders or if none it returns "/") 

So 

$session->redirect($config->urls->root . "profile/");

Thank you to everybody. You are really helpful and fast. I used $config->urls->root syntax for my links.
