codeigniter form validation issue when passing data from form to another one

Question

I have a form in a page that pass the output data to another page containing another form.

The problem is that when I try to browse the second page, the validation errors of this page are displayed, because it see the POST array from the form in the page 1 and so it doesn't have the same inputs required to pass the validation error, it display the validation message.

Here is the code in the controller of the second form:

function download_application()
{
    //load the libraries
    $this->load->library('form_validation');

    //form validation
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'name is required', 'required');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'email  is required', 'required|valid_email');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('country', 'country is required', 'required');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('phone', 'phone is required', 'required');

    if($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE){
        //error in the form
    }else{
        //no error in the form          
    }
}

Set a variable that will identify the parent form as the poster and based on that variable set or unset the form validation checks for the current form.

You should have each form submit to itself so that the relevant controller handles its own validation. Once validation passes you can redirect the user to the second controller using the redirect() function from the URL helper or header("Location:...");
