flashdata won't work with redirects

[eluser]Hampti[/eluser]
Hi there,

my experience with flashdata :
when i did my first CodeIgniter project years ago flashdata worked fine. Just as i thought it was intended, and i used it a lot.

Quite some time ago it stopped working correctly and the data always displayed with delay, just one request too late.

I did some research and tried several "solutions", but none of them worked.

So i would suggest: dont bother and use userdata instead.
If you unset the userdata right after passing it to a view, it works exactly as flashdata did before.

Its a pity though, and if someone could come up with why flasdata is messed up / delayed: Please tell us =).

Best Regards,
Constantin
