Form validation and redirecting to different controller

[eluser]theprodigy[/eluser]
if you do it the way I described

1. form submits to main.
2. main validates form submission.
3a. if all is good, redirect to tags
3b. if invalid, repopulate form and display error

it will make it a lot easier. If you REALLY want to continue the way you currently have it, then you need to pass the user's form submissions to main in order for main to have access to it.
