Redirect Best Practice

Why are you using flashdata--can’t the validation class take care of everything?

After a redirect your Validation object will disappear - Flashdata will allow you to persist data across a new HTTP request.

But, the way you are headed is the "preferred" way. Of course, there are hundreds of ways to accomplish this, but we all agree having a form submit to itself is by far the easiest way.
