How to handle redirections with codeigniter?
- by SinneR
Hi, im having problems starting a codeigniter project, the problem is that when i do something in a controller and then i want a page to display the result, an example: i have a form to add a item to the database, i get all the data in the controller and save it to database and then i want (if all went well) to redirect to the main page with a success msg, i was doing this with
$this->load->view('admin', $data);
the problem is that the url keeps saying admin/addItem so everytime the page gets refreshed it adds another item, now i found the:
redirect('admin','refresh');
but this only helps me when i dont need to display any msg because this function dont allow to send a $data var.
Any ideas?
Probably this is really easy to fix but i cant find a way to handle the flow of the application the way i want, any help is apreciated.
thanks ;)
