Codeigniter basic delete help

Question

I have a link that calls this function:

function delete($id)
{   
    //Delete from database
    $this->db->delete('messages', array('id' => $id)); 

    $data['delete_message'] = 'Message was successfully deleted';
    redirect('admin');
}

As you can see I redirect to the admin function, and I want to pass the delete_message to that function. How can I do this?

Have you looked at "Flashdata"?. You can set your success message in the flash and the next page (admin in your case) reads it if available and passes it to the view as a regular $data['foo'].
