The right way to redirect

[quote author="connors" date="1271464638"]I'd use

Code:

redirect(site_url('dev/test'), 'refresh');

to ensure the path relative to your index.php (You'll need the url helper for the site_url() function)

Sorry but you're wrong about this. redirect function already uses site_url function so you dont have to add it anymore. So just redirect('dev/test') will do fine.

But with flashdata I agree 100% Thats the way to inform something's changed. Action -> create flashdata -> redirect -> show flashdata
