KohanaPHP » Kohana v3.x

(Kohana::$index_file = index.php;)

In my controller

$this->request->redirect('home');

The redirect creates an url and calls

$url = URL::site($url, TRUE, Kohana::$index_file);

URL::site calls URL::base like so:

return URL::base($protocol, $index).$path;

Note that here $index has the value of Kohana::$index_file, in this case 'index.php', it is not a boolean.

Then in URL::base

if ($index === TRUE AND ! empty(Kohana::$index_file))

$index is not TRUE because it was set to 'index.php' in Request::redirect.

I suggest changing

$url = URL::site($url, TRUE, Kohana::$index_file);

to something like

$url = URL::site($url, TRUE, ! empty(Kohana::$index_file));
