I realise this request goes against the example provided in the CI documentation (which advises a separate 'success' page view), but I would like to reutilise a given form view after a form has been successfully submitted - displaying a success message then displaying a blank form. I've tried a few ways unsuccessfully to clear the validation set values (unsetting $_POST, setting rules / fields to an empty array and rerunning validatio).

I could redirect to the same page, but then I'd have to set a session variable to display a success message - which is a messy approach.

Any ideas how to achieve the above?
