Re: unset($this->params['data']) Not Working???

I believe that is exactly what I wanted now that you lay it out like that.

Thanks for dumbing it down for me.  I think I was missing how to get it into the view.

I will test this out in my app and procede to remove my code bloat that I previously posted.

Thanks again.

Assuming you're adding Posts, you need something like this in the add()
method of your controller:

function add()
{
    if ($this->Post->save($this->params['data']))
    {
        $this->Session->setFlash('The post has been saved', 'default');
        $this->redirect('posts/add');
    }
}

This will store the message in the session for later retrieval in your
layout (named 'default' in this example.

So, somewhere in your default.thtml layout put this code:

<?
    php if (isset($this->controller->Session))
    $this->controller->Session->flash();
?>

This will display the message stored in the session by the controller
above, and then show the contents of your "add" view (add.thtml) -
because we redirected to 'posts/add' above.

No extra functions or session variables, and no flash screen in between
steps. It just saves the Post and then shows a new empty Post form,
with the status message displayed on the same page. I know this works
because I've released it to QA testing for a client's internal admin
tool.

I hope I've understood what the original question was on this thread,
and I hope this helps.
