internal message system message send form

[eluser]mabright[/eluser]
Below is my compose message view. I put a test variable($test_msg) in the view that I expect to print when my logic in the controller is called via the submitted "send message" button. I am new to CI and still testing the whole segment/parameter url logic.

Code:

<div id="mc_container">
    &lt;form method="post" action="&lt;?php echo current_url().'/send'; ?&gt;" enctype="multipart/form-data" /&gt;
        <div id="msg_boxsel_nav">
            <ul>
                <li &lt;?php if(stristr(current_url(),'compose') == true){echo 'class="selected_msg_box"';} ?&gt;>&lt;?php echo anchor('member/messages/compose',img('images/email_edit.png').' Compose Message'); ?&gt;</li>
                <li &lt;?php if(stristr(current_url(),'inbox') == true){echo 'class="selected_msg_box"';} ?&gt;>&lt;?php echo anchor('member/messages/inbox',img('images/email_open.png').' Inbox ('.$inbox_count.')'); ?&gt;</li>
                <li &lt;?php if(stristr(current_url(),'sent') == true){echo 'class="selected_msg_box"';} ?&gt;>&lt;?php echo anchor('member/messages/sent',img('images/email_go.png').' Sent'); ?&gt;</li>
                <li &lt;?php if(stristr(current_url(),'trash') == true){echo 'class="selected_msg_box"';} ?&gt;>&lt;?php echo anchor('member/messages/trash',img('images/bin_closed.png').'Trash'); ?&gt;</li>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <div id="msg_compose">
                <ol>
                    <li>
                        &lt;?php echo (isset($test_msg)) ? $test_msg : ''; ?&gt;
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <label class="label_required">To:</label>
                        &lt;input class="msg_compose_input" type="text" name="input_recipients[]" id="input_recipients[]" value="&lt;?php echo set_value('input_recipients[]'); ?&gt;" tabindex="1"/&gt;                    
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <label class="label_required">CC:</label>
                        &lt;input class="msg_compose_input" type="text" name="input_cc[]" id="input_cc[]" value="&lt;?php echo set_value('input_cc[]'); ?&gt;" tabindex="2"/&gt;                    
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <label class="label_required">Subject:</label>
                        &lt;input class="msg_compose_input" type="text" name="input_subject" id="input_subject" value="&lt;?php echo set_value('input_subject'); ?&gt;" tabindex="3"/&gt;
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        &lt;textarea class="msg_compose_textarea" name="msg_body" id="msg_body" TABINDEX="4"&gt;&lt;/textarea>
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <label class="label_required">Attachment:</label>
                        &lt;input type="file" name="input_attachment" id="input_attachment" value="" tabindex="5"/&gt;
                        <p class="msg_field_note">Allowed file types: gif, jpg and png. Max Size: 2M.</p>                
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <label class="nolabel">.</label>
                        &lt;input name="send_msg" class="button" type="submit" value="Send Message" /&gt;
                    </li>
                </ol>
        </div>
    &lt;/form&gt;
