Using flashdata after redirect?

Have you tried

PHP Code:

var_dump($_SESSION); 


After setting it?

PHP Code:

$this->session->set_flashdata('message', 'test');
var_dump($_SESSION);
exit;
redirect('login', 'refresh'); 


Is the message available in the $_SESSION array?

I checked this and yes, the message is available in the $_SESSION array:

Code:

array (size=3)
 '__ci_last_regenerate' => int 1447806257
 'message' => string 'Update successful.' (length=18)
 '__ci_vars' =>
   array (size=1)
     'message' => string 'new' (length=3)

This was the dump before the redirect.

Is there an AJAX request? Maybe it somehow captures and clears the flashdata before the redirection?

A side note:
When AJAX is called by jQuery
headers["X-Requested-With"] = "XMLHttpRequest";
is done automatically, but in other cases this header might be forgotten.

No, there is no AJAX request. It is a normal form submission (POST request).

Hi

Please check "$this->load->library('session');" writing or not in controller (log out) action

I am autoloading the session library, so yes it is being loaded. All my other flashdata for form validation etc. works fine, it's only when using a redirect() that it doesn't work.

UPDATE: I found some random old code I had in my app which messed with the flashdata - I don't remember putting it there, and looking at it now, I have no idea what purpose it was serving...

Anyway, point is I got it working now! Thanks for the suggestions.

Now just to figure out how to get it working after destroying the session...

Any chance I could borrow that "random old code" that helped with your problem losing flashdata after redirect()?

I'm having exactly the same issue as you're describing. There is an "exit;" in the CI's redirect function that is breaking flashdata. It works fine if, instead of redirect(), you use, for example, header('Location: '.base_url().'blah') with no following exit. But the exit is good practice. It **should** be there.
