loading a view with an argument

[eluser]garrettheel[/eluser]
Just wondering, how do you add an argument to a view when loading it? For example, in my edit function, the first argument is the id that is edited. When there is an error, I need to reload the same page they were on before.

But when I try

Code:

$this->load->view('admin/edit/1');

I get an error saying that it couldn't find admin/edit/1.php. How can i overcome this? Thanks

Code:

redirect('admin/edit/1');

Or even better, assign values via an associative array to the view. Ie.:

Code:

$data = array('error' => $this_is_an_error_var);
$this->load->view('admin/edit', $data);

Now, in your view, simply do:

Code:

if (isset($error) {
  echo $error
}

The redirect doesn't work, because I'm using form validation and the validation errors don't work when you redirect to a new page. Any other suggestions?

O.o

Did you read my suggestion? It will work. I use it for my own error handling/validations.

What is wrong with adding the url to the form action attribute?

Code:

<form action="<?php echo current_url() ?>" method="post">

This keeps the form on the same page.

If you are going from one method to another you need use the redirect.

I got your suggestion but I'd rather use CI's built in form validation, which I can't do with that method.

I actually just realized what you were talking about xwero and appeneded the ID in the form action, but I was unaware of the current_url function. Thanks

You can sue sessions for this.

Put this code in the form validation complete statement.

Code:

$this->load->library('session');

$this->session->set_flashdata('error', $this_is_an_error_var);
redirect('admin/edit');

Then this code on the landing page (can be the same page if you like).

Code:

if($error = $this->session->flashdata('error')) {
    $data['error'] = $error;
}
$this->load->view('admin/complete', $data);
