Trigger update message from method?

I would go with session flashdata : http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...sions.html [ see Flashdata section ]
CodeIgniter supports "flashdata", or session data that will only be available for the next server request, and are then automatically cleared. These can be very useful, and are typically used for informational or status messages (for example: "record 2 deleted").
