Redirects aren't working

Hi all,

So I'm almost ready to get the book added but it's not working as we're working from inside the procedures folder. How does workspaces seem to know to redirect back outside that folder? All I get is object not found.

addBook.php 
<?php


require_once __DIR__ . '/../inc/bootstrap.php';

$bookTitle = request()->get('title');
$bookDescription = request()->get('description');

try {
    $newBook = addBook($bookTitle, $bookDescription);

    $response = \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response::create(null, \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response::HTTP_FOUND, ['Location' => '/books.php']);
    $response->send();
    exit;

} catch(\Exception $e) {
    $response = \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response::create(null, \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response::HTTP_FOUND, ['Location' => '/add.php']);
    $response->send();
    exit;

}

```Object not found!

The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 404

Hey, could you please try below

header("Location:/books.php");

instead of ['Location' => '/books.php']

um, not sure what the problem is, but mine worked okay in workspaces with :

<?php

require_once "../inc/bootstrap.php";
$request = request();
$bookTitle = $request->get("title");
$description = $request->get("description");

try {
  $newBook = addBook($bookTitle, $description);

  $response =  \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response::create(
     null, // body of response, mixed type
    \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response::HTTP_FOUND, //status code.
    [
      "Location"=>'/books.php'
    ]
  );
  $response->send();
  exit;
} catch (\Exception $e){
  $response =  \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response::create(
     null, // body of response, mixed type
    \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response::HTTP_FOUND, //status code.
    [
      "Location"=>'/add.php'
    ]
  );
  $response->send();
  exit;
}

um, jumping out of the procedure dir is the result of the "/" in the url.
