How to make a correct redirect in CodeIgniter?

Question

CodeIgniter

Hello everyone, such a question, I have a Pages controller, it has a view method that connects the desired view (taken from the official documentation), there is a Request controller that is responsible for requests from various forms on the site. When I go to the contact-us page, then my URL looks like this index.php/pages/view/contact-us, the form action leads to request/contact_us_request, in it I check the validity of the form, etc. but if i click on submit, it navigates and my url becomes index.php/request/contact_us_request, how do i make it redirect regardless of the success of field validation to my original controller? Redirect is not suitable, because Errors for fields are lost... How could it be that everything should have been done in the view method?

Frankly, you misunderstood how Codeigniter works. I would re-read the docs.
If you want some controller to open after submitting the form, then there are several options:
1. Send data to it
2. Make a redirect to it with saving the necessary data, for example, in the session (flashdata).
Choose what suits you best.
