How to show a preview / confirmation page before writing the form to the database
#1

I'm using the validation class to create and validate a lengthy form -- love the ease with which I can do form validation so far. Following the example in the documentation was easy.... However, the example writes the form data straight to the database. E.g.:

Code:
$this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
    $this->load->library('validation');
    $rules['username']    = "callback_username_check";
    $rules['password']    = "required";        
    $this->validation->set_rules($rules);
        
    if ($this->validation->run() == FALSE)
    {
        $this->load->view('myform');
    }
    else
    {
        // success, write to the database!
    }

Problem is, I want to show a preview / confirmation page before writing to the database. In the bad old days before frameworks, I'd just create a confirmation page with a form and a bunch of hidden fields. User would confirm, then I'd validate the data write to the DB. Is there an easier way to do this with CodeIgniter?
