Not getting setFlash messages in CakePHP 1.2

If your not observing your $this->Session->setFlash messages, make sure you have the following code present in your layout or view ...

Show Plain Text
PHP code
  1. <?php
  2. if ($session->check('Message.flash')) {
  3.   $session->flash();
  4. }
  5. ?>

This caught me out one time after editing the default.ctp layout and accidentally removing the $session->flash() line.

If it doesn't work, add echo before $session->flash();
