Drupal: Display success/error message
drupal, drupal-6
Solution
`drupal_set_message($msg, $type = 'status');` lets you set a message, it will be displayed automatically on the next (or current) page the user visits.
The optional second argument lets you choose between an informational message (`status`), a `warning` (usually yellow) or an `error` (red).
See the docs: http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_set_message/6
Problem
how can I show users success/error messages without creating a node for it? Thanks in advance!
