Redirect with input

I think we need something similar like in Laravel: 
https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/responses#r...ssion-data
https://laravel.com/api/5.2/Illuminate/H...ponse.html

Why we need this? To show the form in one action method and in the other one handle the data processing...

For CodeIgniter 3 I use a similar but very simple solution to achieve the same results, see below...

I put the following code to the MY_Controller constructor:

PHP Code:

$_previous_data = $this->session->flashdata('_previous_data');
if($_previous_data)
{
    $_POST    = $_previous_data['post'];
    $_GET    = $_previous_data['get'];
} 


...and I created the following helper method for the redirect:

PHP Code:

if( ! function_exists('redirect_with_input'))
{
    function redirect_with_input($uri = '', $method = 'auto', $code = NULL)
    {
        $CI =& get_instance();

        $data = array(
            'post'    => $CI->input->post(),
            'get'    => $CI->input->get()
        );

        $CI->load->driver('session');
        $CI->session->set_flashdata('_previous_data', $data);

        redirect($uri, $method, $code);
    }
} 


I am not saying we should use something similar, it's just here to show an implementation... Laravel's approach is much cleaner & have more options...

Yes, something similar to this is on my radar, but I keep forgetting to work on it among all of the other parts. Thanks for the nudge and for sharing your code.

Great work! I was looking for such a function a few month back for a project. Good to see its getting integrated
