I’ve got my error-handling built around redirecting-with-a-message — I want to do form-validation errors the same way but I think I’m going to have to retool it.

Hmm. I am not sure to understand your question, but do you really need to use “redirect”? If it is a form, then you likely will POST the form. Redirect won’t be used until the form is processed properly and then you can redirect to another page. I think you are trying to use a redirect where it shouldn’t be used…

This is almost exactly the method I developed for myself, but I’ve discovered a problem with it (and found this page while googling for a solution to it) — when a form fails to validate, I want to use the set_value function to display the previously submitted values to the user. If you use a redirect, set_value no longer works.

Have you found a workaround for that, or has it not been an issue for you?

Isn’t this solution using session flash data? Basically what this is showing is the stylized way to achieve that. But in fact, it uses session’s set_flashdata.
