Question

I’m not sure how to do this: Once a row is added with muy ‘add’ action, i want to send the user to my ‘view’ action so they can see the row that was submitted. But seeing as it was just submitted, I want to show the user a succes message that their data was submitted.

I show my rows this way: url.com/view/32

I only want to show the succes message if they just submitted something, not when they’re only reading data.

So I want to pass something like $submitted = true to my view Action, but I have no idea how to do this. Any suggestions?

Also, another way I thought of, was checking if the visitor is coming from my add action, and if so, show the success message. Again, not sure how to do this though…

The flashMessenger action helper is designed for displaying messages in the next request.

It uses session to store the information.
