What would cause Flashdata to not be set? - El Forum - 09-11-2011
[eluser]bezking[/eluser]
I basically have a really complicated form that I need to do custom validation on. Some pretty complex database queries are used to populate and set up the form so if there are errors found during validation I am redirecting back to the form instead of just loading the view on the processing/validation method in the controller. I want to pass the errors and original data back to the view using flashdata. I have this line right before a redirect():
$this->session->set_flashdata("obl_edit", array("data" => $_POST, "errors" => $errors)) or die("failed");
This prints "failed." If I remove the $_POST, it works fine. Why would trying to include the postdata cause this to fail?
