Form validation doesn't work!

If you still want to use redirects you can store the validation errors on a flashdata item.

Code:

$this->session->set_flashdata('form_errors', validation_errors());

You can then echo the errors on your view:

Code:

echo $this->session->flashdata('form_errors');

(I'm not sure if this is the best approach, but if I'm not mistaken your session can only hold 4KB of data, so if your form is large, using this method isn't a good idea).
