Redirect vs $this->load->view

[eluser]123wesweat[/eluser]
In general when do you use redirect('', location) and when $this->load->view('', $data)??

The $this->load->view use when you have a call to a page,then the steps are run the code of the corresponding controller and load the appropriate view to display the results.

you can see the flow chart

The redirect you can use when you have to redirect the user to another page(with this you call another controller).
For example I use redirect when I have a controller&view;to show a form to edit a post , with url /posts/3/edit and when the user save-submit the form, I redirect again to the edit page to see the changes, or to the root directory /posts to see all the posts.

So the load->view loads a view from a controller(or from a view) but with redirect loads an(redirect to) other page, that means another controller which maybe load a view.
