codeigniter redirct function error - php

Question

I am working on codeigniter. I did the sql query to insert the data into the database.my query is running perfectly and is shown in the database table.
But i want to display message if my data is inserted into the table(like data inserted successfully).
here is my controller code:
public function insert(){
$post=$this->input->post();
unset($post['submit']);
if($this->testimonial_model->insert_testimonial($post))
{
$this->session->set_flashdata('feedback',"Data inserted successfully.");
$this->session->set_flashdata('feedback_class','alert-success');
}else{
$this->session->set_flashdata('feedback',"failed to add, Please Try again");
$this->session->set_flashdata('feedback_class','alert-danger');
}
return redirect('testimonial_edit');
}
here is my model code:
public function insert_testimonial($insert){
return $this->db->insert('testimonial',$insert);
}
Here is my view code and my view file name is testimonial_edit
<?php
if($feedback=$this->session->flashdata('feedback')):
$feedback_class=$this->session->flashdata('feedback_class');
?>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6">
<div class="alert alert-dismissable <?php $feedback_class?>">
<?php $feedback?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php
endif;
?>
Below this code my form code is there.
After filling form when i clicked on submit button the data is successfully inserted but it showing following error
404 Page Not Found

Answer 1

You can't redirect to a view file, so try adding a method to the controller which simply loads the view; then redirect to that method:
public function insert(){
$post=$this->input->post();
unset($post['submit']);
if($this->testimonial_model->insert_testimonial($post))
{
$this->session->set_flashdata('feedback',"Data inserted successfully.");
$this->session->set_flashdata('feedback_class','alert-success');
}else{
$this->session->set_flashdata('feedback',"failed to add, Please Try again");
$this->session->set_flashdata('feedback_class','alert-danger');
}
redirect('current_controller_name/testimonial_edit');
}
/* add this function that you can redirect to,
and which will load the view file of the same name */
function testimonial_edit(){
$this->load->view('testimonial_edit');
}
As for your success message not displaying, try:
<?php if($this->session->flashdata('feedback')){ ?>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6">
<div class="alert alert-dismissable <?php echo $this->session->flashdata('feedback_class'); ?>">
<?php echo $this->session->flashdata('feedback'); ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php } ?>

Try it:-
public function insert(){
$this->load->library('session');
$post=$this->input->post();
unset($post['submit']);
if($this->testimonial_model->insert_testimonial($post))
{
$this->session->set_flashdata('feedback',"Data inserted successfully.");
$this->session->set_flashdata('feedback_class','alert-success');
}else{
$this->session->set_flashdata('feedback',"failed to add, Please Try again");
$this->session->set_flashdata('feedback_class','alert-danger');
}
echo ($this->session->flashdata('feedback_class')) ? $this->session->flashdata('feedback_class') : '';
echo ($this->session->flashdata('feedback')) ? $this->session->flashdata('feedback') : '';
die;
redirect(base_url('testimonial_edit'));
}

Add url helper in config file helper array
like $config['helper']=array("url");
