On the front-end of my MAR demo when the form is sent it redirects to
a separate “thanks” page but instead of this I want to include a brief
inline [flash] message.
So, below is part of the controller that I modified to do this:

That’s what I’m trying to do (I think) and to an extent I did; I get
the message I want to appear above the form (see screenshot) but I
still don’t know how to fix the errors (screenshot).

You could get the effect you’re after here by redirecting the page

I tried it with $self earlier tonight and all I get is a parse error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting T_CASE or
T_DEFAULT or ‘}’ in/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/MAR/client/controllers/
mar_controller.php on line 3

elements are allowed inside the switch. Try moving that line up to the
top of the script – get it above the line that begins with
switch ($verb){

OK, that solves part of the problem; I thought I did put it above the
switch but in fact I mistakingly put it between the switch and case.
The form submits to the database fine but the page doesn’t redirect
back to itself and there’s an error stating that it can’t connect to
the server (I’m doing this locally) even though my local server is
clearly running.

What happens if you copy the URL out of the browser’s location window, paste it in a new window, and press return?

That’s got to be it, no? Question is, how do fix it.

That fixed the redirect error but the flash message doesn’t appear
now, the page reloads with no indication of the form being sent (which
it is). I quickly tried it on the live server without all the hoop-
jumping below and the result is the same, no errors but no message
either.

Remember, you are getting this value out of the session after a full
redirect like this. The $flash (normal page variable) is for error
messages (usually) because the page doesn’t get a full reload, it just
fails through to the form, and the session is only populated after a
full reload.

Hmmm. I’m out of suggestions, then. Without seeing the error or the
script running, it’s pretty hard to trace where the session is
disappearing to.

Since you’re running this in MAMP, I don’t know what I could do from
here unless we used Timbuktu or similar. Even if you posted it on a
real server, you’d need to give me SSH privileges on that server so I
could tweak things…
Pity Chicago and Philadelphia aren’t closer to one another…

Well, if I sent you the Coda link you could at least look at the file
and see if I putzed something up. I could still run it on my end
through MAMP to check it. As for giving you SSH priv. I’m willing to
do that but I’m not sure how. I’ll have a look in my cp.
