search page problem

[eluser]dimis[/eluser]
I have a search page.
I have a input text searchfield.
I use pagination of CI.
I want to have at all pages of pagination the value of searchfield.
So I use this code

Code:

post=$this->input->post('searchfield');

        if (!empty($post))
        {
           $this->session->
set_flashdata('searchfield',$this->input->post['searchfield']);
            $mysearch=$this->input->post('searchfield');
        
        }
        else
        {

            $this->session->set_flashdata('searchfield',  flashdata('searchfield'));
            $mysearch= $this->session->flashdata('searchfield');

        }

but it does not seems to work.
The flashdata is not there.
How can I put the input text searchfield value for all the pages of pagination?

Flashdata is only available on the next page reload.

You might be better off saving the string in regular session, and display it in the view directly. This

Code:

// Store search input in session
$this->data['mysearch'] = ;
$this->session->set_userdata('searchfield', $this->data['mysearch']);

// Pass search input to view
$this->load->view('some_view', $this->data);
