Quite often you need to redirect to another controller/action after a decision in the controller. Sometimes you need to redirect to a whole different site. This is how I do redirects in Zend Framework 1.10:

Redirect to another controller and/or action
For this I use the Zend_Controller_Action_Helper function redirector(action, controller name)

$this->_helper->redirector('display', 'index');

This will redirect to the displayAction in the indexController

Redirect to another site
For this I use the Zend_Controller_Action function redirect(url). The redirect function takes an full url as input (you can also supply an array with redirect options)

$this->_redirect('http://framework.zend.com/');

This will redirect you to the Zend Framework site
