Re: Cannot figure out why redirect is not working at all.

Is the $formulaId being passed in through the URL?

If so, I believe that the $formulaId variable is only available in
your action when the page is first requested via the get request. Once
the page is submitted with the form and it's doing a post request it
no longer has $formulaId being passed in through the URL at that
point. It's passing in the form data to the edit action not the URL
data.

Try just redirecting to a static page like a home or contact page
after the save to see if the redirect works or if its the ID that
you're passing to it is the error.

I'm not sure why it's taking you to an entirely different URL though.
