help: losing uri segment when failing form validation

OK second attempt!

At the very top of your edit() method, above the validation IF, put the $id into a variable like this:

Code:

$edit_id = $this->uri->segment(3);
if(! $edit_id) $edit_id = $this->input->post('id_item);
// if there's still no ID, redirect somewhere safe
if(! $edit_id) redirect('some_controller');

that should solve your problem I think
