CakePHP redirectng

I have 2 view files, lets say file1.ctp and file2.ctp. What I want, when I am successfully done doing something in file1.ctp, it'll show me a "Successful" message and redirect me to file2.ctp. It should be automatic.

Controller::flash

From this comment, what you're describing is Controller::flash:

Controller::flash($message, $url, $pause, $layout)

Like redirect(), the flash() method is used to direct a user to a new page after an operation. The flash() method is different in that it shows a message before passing the user on to another URL.

Example usage

Consider 2 controller actions, like so:

function step1() {
    ...
    $this->flash('Step1 complete, now starting step2', array('action' => 'step2'))
}

function step2() {
    ...
}

which when accessed at /example/step1 would execute the controller action, then show a plain page with the text Step1 complete, now starting step2, pause for 1 second (the default) and then send the user to /example/step2 using a meta refresh.

You can use the render function in CakePHP. Like This:

$this->render('file2');

You should use this in your Controller.
