Redirect Target for the controller

It would be nice if the controller would take a parameter that tells it where to redirect after some operation for example adding a record.  For example if you have a contacts / add page and you want the controller to redirect you to accounts/view page after the add then the controller would take a parameter like redirect=accounts/view or something.

@rwebb‍ have you looked at the View Hepler in phprad? You would see that there is a redirect function there, which you can redirect to pages after performing your action.

Is there any documentation on this feature?

This documentation tells how to use the function.  I'm more looking for an example of where I would use that function.   On the add page configuration there is an option for "Redirect to After Add" can I use that function there?  How could I use this function to change where the redirect goes to after say for example adding a record?

@rwebb‍ the Redirect to After Add uses the above-metioned function. You can select the page you want to redirect to there, but if you want to redirect to a page based on your custom code check, you use the above-stated function, which what you initially asked for. In summary, you can use the code in Page Events.
