getContentType()

Returns the Content-Type header (sans charset=X) that the response will most likely include.

View source

Returns

string, null

getRawCookies()

Since
3.5.0

Returns the “raw” cookie collection.

Works similar to getCookies(), but these cookies won’t go through validation, and their values won’t be hashed.

View source

Returns

yii\web\CookieCollection – The cookie collection.

redirect()

Redirects the browser to the specified URL.

This method adds a "Location" header to the current response. Note that it does not send out the header until send() is called. In a controller action you may use this method as follows:

php
return Yii::$app->getResponse()->redirect($url);

In other places, if you want to send out the "Location" header immediately, you should use the following code:

php
Yii::$app->getResponse()->redirect($url)->send();
return;

In AJAX mode, this normally will not work as expected unless there are some client-side JavaScript code handling the redirection. To help achieve this goal, this method will send out a "X-Redirect" header instead of "Location".

If you use the "yii" JavaScript module, it will handle the AJAX redirection as described above. Otherwise, you should write the following JavaScript code to handle the redirection:

javascript
$document.ajaxComplete(function (event, xhr, settings) {
    var url = xhr && xhr.getResponseHeader('X-Redirect');
    if (url) {
        window.location = url;
    }
});

View source

Arguments

  • $url (string, array) – The URL to be redirected to. This can be in one of the following formats:
  • $statusCode (integer) – The HTTP status code. Defaults to 302. See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-10 for details about HTTP status code
  • $checkAjax (boolean) – Whether to specially handle AJAX (and PJAX) requests. Defaults to true, meaning if the current request is an AJAX or PJAX request, then calling this method will cause the browser to redirect to the given URL. If this is false, a Location header will be sent, which when received as an AJAX/PJAX response, may NOT cause browser redirection. Takes effect only when request header X-Ie-Redirect-Compatibility is absent.

Returns

$this – The response object itself

sendAndClose()

Attempts to closes the connection with the HTTP client, without ending PHP script execution.

This method relies on flush(), which may not actually work if mod_deflate or mod_gzip is installed, or if this is a Win32 server.

Throws

  • Throwable
    An exception will be thrown if content has already been output.

sendContentAsFile()

Sends the specified content as a file to the browser.

Note that this method only prepares the response for file sending. The file is not sent until send() is called explicitly or implicitly. The latter is done after you return from a controller action.

\yii\web\Response::sendContentAsFile()

View source

Arguments

  • $content (string) – The content to be sent. The existing content will be discarded.
  • $attachmentName (string) – The file name shown to the user.
  • $options (array) – Additional options for sending the file. The following options are supported:

Returns

static – Self reference

Throws

sendFile()

Sends a file to the browser.

Note that this method only prepares the response for file sending. The file is not sent until send() is called explicitly or implicitly. The latter is done after you return from a controller action.

The following is an example implementation of a controller action that allows requesting files from a directory that is not accessible from web:

php
public function actionFile($filename)
{
    $storagePath = Yii::getAlias('@app/files');

    // check filename for allowed chars (do not allow ../ to avoid security issue: downloading arbitrary files)
    if (!preg_match('/^[a-z0-9]+\.[a-z0-9]+$/i', $filename) || !is_file("$storagePath/$filename")) {
        throw new \yii\web\NotFoundHttpException('The file does not exists.');
    }
    return Yii::$app->response->sendFile("$storagePath/$filename", $filename);
}

\yii\web\Response::sendFile()

View source

Arguments

  • $filePath (string) – The path of the file to be sent.
  • $attachmentName (string, null) – The file name shown to the user. If null, it will be determined from $filePath.
  • $options (array) – Additional options for sending the file. The following options are supported:

Returns

static – Self reference

setCacheHeaders()

Sets headers that will instruct the client to cache this response.

View source

Returns

static – Self reference

setLastModifiedHeader()

Sets a Last-Modified header based on a given file path.

View source

Arguments

  • $path (string) – The file to read the last modified date from.

Returns

static – Self reference

setNoCacheHeaders()

Since
3.5.0

Sets headers that will instruct the client to not cache this response.

Returns

static – Self reference
