Flashdata redirect - El Forum - 03-27-2010

Hi guys,
I'm trying to save a flashdata message once the user fills out a form to create a client and have it display when the user is redirected.
clients/create controller
Code:
function create()
{
/* Loaders */
$this->load->helper('form');
$this->load->library('form_validation');
if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)
{
/* Load views */
$this->load->view('header');
$this->load->view('clients_create');
$this->load->view('footer');
} else {
$client = array(
'name' => $this->input->post('client_name'),
'telephone' => $this->input->post('client_telephone'),
'address' => $this->input->post('client_address')
);
/* Post to model */
$this->load->model('clients_model');
$this->clients_model->insert_client($client);
/* Redirect */
$this->session->set_flashdata('msg', 'Client created successfully.');
redirect('clients');
}clients view
Code:
<h2>Clients</h2>
<div class="inner-box clearfix">
<?php if($this->session->flashdata('msg')): ?>
<div class="success">
<?=$this->session->flashdata('msg')?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>It seems like the flashdata isn't even created as no text box is displayed. Any suggestions? Session is set in the autoloader.

Why are you using flashdata in this case?

Because the user gets redirected back to the clients controller from several others, including clients/delete, clients/edit and clients/create so they need different messages for each successful action.

Oh, I am sorry ... stupid question
But, I have next stupid question:
Do you have initialized session? ($this->load->library('session'); or auto-loaded)

Yup. The session table shows "a:1:{s:13:"flash:new:msg";s:28:"Client updated suc..." in the database.
