Redirects to another URL, optionally enqueueing a message in the system message queue (which will be displayed the next time a page is loaded) using the enqueueMessage method. If the headers have not been sent, the redirect will be accomplished using a ‘301 Moved Permanently’ code in the header pointing to a new location. If the headers have already been sent, this will be accomplished using a JavaScript statement. Redirect to another URL
