Question

I have the following problem in Cakephp:
I maded a CMS to edit the content of a website with CakePhp. Now when I change the content in my form and I click Save then he shows again the data from before the form was changed.
In the database everything saved well and if I refresh the page also he shows the right data.

I know I can render a new page or redirect to another page, but I liked to just show a message with setFlash and that’s it. Someone can help me out?

Thanks in advance

Update : check the Justin T. solution below.

You can just redirect to the same page:

to set your flash message:

$this->setFlash('blablablabla');

and

return $this->redirect($this->here); //cake 1.3

or

return $this->redirect($this->request->here); // cake 2.x

or

return $this->redirect(['controller' => 'MyController', 'action' => 'methodOfController']); // cake3.X

to redirect.
