ZF using placeholders inside plugins - zend-framework

Question

I'm trying to implement a plugin that handles responses to the user on success or failure in a persistance transaction. When the response is false I use a _forward to the action that performed the form's submit and get my placeholder message shown but when the response is true I use a _redirect to the browse with the new record shown.
My problem is that when I use _redirect the browser doesn't show the placeholder message. I'll show the code here:
/**
* Plugin
*/
class Application_Plugin_PostMessage extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract
{
public function postDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
{
$message = $request->getParam('message');
$error = $request->getParam('error');
if (null !== $message || null !== $error) {
$layout = Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance();
$view = $layout->getView();
$placeHolder = $view->placeholder('message');
$placeHolder->setPostfix('</div>');
if (null !== $error) {
$placeHolder->setPrefix('<div class="errorMessage">')
->append($error);
}
elseif (null !== $message) {
$placeHolder->setPrefix('<div class="infoMessage">')
->append($message);
}
}
}
}
/**
* Controller
*/
class My_FooController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
public function init()
{
$front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$front->registerPlugin(new Application_Plugin_PostMessage());
}
...
public function browseAction()
{
...
// No message is shown here on redirect
...
}
public function newAction()
{
...
// This code shows the placeholder on _forward call
...
}
public function insertAction()
{
if(true) {
return $this->_redirect('/my/foo/browse?message='
. urlencode("success message"));
}
else {
return $this->_forward('new', null, null, array(
'error' => 'error messsage'
));
}
}
}
I can't use _forward on success because I don't want the use of [F5] key repeats the insert action
Thanks in advance

This is what Flash Messenger is for:

It stores messages in your session removing the need for passing messages as you are.
