trying to understand form_validation

[eluser]pickupman[/eluser]
This was already in my code

Code:

redirect('myBlog/comments/'.$entry_id, 'refresh'); //prevent reload/reinsert

Adding 'refresh" as the second parameter will clear the post array. And I forgot that I had removed the duplicate declaration of $entry_id to the above line should read

Code:

redirect('myBlog/comments/'.$data['entry_id'], 'refresh'); //prevent reload/reinsert

And WanWizard is spot on with requiring validation for a table's primary key. Without it, the data becomes useless, and possibly screw up your database. I could insert as many comments as I want into your db that would never be seen unless you viewed the tables manually.

Thanks, that solves my problem.

The documentation is not at all clear on exactly what adding 'refresh' does. Since I'm not on a Windows machine I could see no reason to use it.
