Answer 1

You can use flashdata, which is a part of the session library of codeigniter.

Flashdatas are session that is only kept for the next request. So the idea is to submit the form, keep the values you want in the flash data, then use it.

How flash data works: 1. Set flashdata 2. The flash data is available for the next refresh/request 3. It is now gone.

your code should be

function post_form()
{
    $this->session->set_flashdata('session_name', $this->input->post('name');
    //Your other codes
}

To access the flast data, simply use the code

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

You can read more about flashdatas in the user guide.
