  You could possibly add a hidden field to the form that contains the value of the current page (current_url()) which tells where the form can redirect back to upon success or error. Error messages would need to be put in to a flash message.

  If I would like to call a method from one of the controller and use this in the _variables/global.php like,
  
  $CI =& get_instance(); /* Email Form */ $CI->load->controller('send_email'); $vars['email_form'] = $CI->send_email->generate_email_form();
  
  Then I can use this email_form variables in my templete?
  
  When I try this code, it gave me an error said call to undefined method.
  
  What would you suggest me to be able to pass the method from my controller into the _variables?
  
  Thank you.

  You can't load controllers like that. You need to set send_email as a library and load it as a library instead:
  $CI =& get_instance(); /* Email Form */ $CI->load->library('send_email'); $vars['email_form'] = $CI->send_email->generate_email_form();
