In the first place why you need post data while redirect :

you can have post function that handle all your code and then redirect after success or failure depends on your usage 

function method()
{
    //do something
    redirect('path/to/method');
}

if you want to have variables passed through other pages you can do this by :

  1. Save data into session, $this->session->set_data($data); or $this->set_flashdata($data); depends on your usage
  2. Pass in URL as parameter instead of form submission

hope that helped you someway

when using redirect you go from one controller or another by this process all post data are destroyed unless you stored them on a session, here is how i do it

$data = array('firstname'=>'fname','lastname'=>'lastname');
// i store data to flashdata
$this->session->set_flashdata('lolwut',$data);
// after storing i redirect it to the controller
redirect('controller/method')

so on your redirected controller you can access it via $this->session->flashdata('lolwut') note that i am using flashdata not userdata, flashdata destroys itself on the next process.
