Codeigniter : flashdata between redirect and loading view

Question

In controller signup

    function signup() { 
     if('user already exists') {
     $this->session->flashdata('flsh_msg', 'You have already signed up using goole. you will be redirected to home page.');
    redirect('signup/signup/show_message'); 
     }
 }

Show message in same controller, just to show view

 function show_message()
  {
      $this->load->view('header/header');
      $this->load->view('signup/signup_message');
      $this->load->view('footer/footer');
  }

In View file :

<div class="alert alert-success">
    <?php echo $this->session->flashdata('flsh_msg'); ?>
</div>

I am not able to show "You have already signed up using goole. you will be redirected to home page." message on view, I have tested keep_flashdata and set_flashdata.

Is there any other method to do this? How can pass flash message between redirecting and then calling a view

Solution 1

Change in Controller :

$this->session->set_flashdata('flsh_msg', 'You have already signed up using goole. you will be redirected to home page.');

View is just as it is :

<?php echo $this->session->flashdata('flsh_msg'); ?>

Hope this helps you. Thanks!!

Try this.

function signup() { 
    if('user already exists') {
       $this->session->set_flashdata('flsh_msg', 'You have already signed up using goole. you will be redirected to home page.');
          redirect('signup/signup/show_message'); 
    }
}

The setting function of flashdata is set_flashdata, not only flashdata.. only flashdata("flsh_msg") will get that string, but set_flashdata set it ;)

Although this code might solve the problem, a good answer should explain what the code does and how it helps
