    text
    copied!<p>I am using CodeIgniter 2.3.1 and created a <code>form_validation.php</code> file in <code>config</code> and the content is as below.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $config = array( array( 'field' =&gt; 'firstname', 'label' =&gt; 'First Name', 'rules' =&gt; 'required' ), array( 'field' =&gt; 'lastname', 'label' =&gt; 'Last Name', 'rules' =&gt; 'required' ), array( 'field' =&gt; 'email', 'label' =&gt; 'Email', 'rules' =&gt; 'required|valid_email|callback_unique_email' ), array( 'field' =&gt; 'password', 'label' =&gt; 'Password', 'rules' =&gt; 'required|matches[confirm_password]' ), array( 'field' =&gt; 'confirm_password', 'label' =&gt; 'Confirm Password', 'rules' =&gt; 'required' ) ); function unique_email($email) { if($email == 'm@gmail.com') { $this-&gt;form_validation-&gt;set_message('unique_email', 'Hello World !'); return false; } } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>And checking the <code>form_validation</code> in <code>register</code> function of <code>user</code> controller. The code is below.</p> <pre><code>public function register() { $this-&gt;load-&gt;helper('form'); $data['message'] = ''; if($this-&gt;input-&gt;post('submit')) { $this-&gt;load-&gt;library('form_validation'); if($this-&gt;form_validation-&gt;run() == FALSE) { $data['message'] = 'User could not be saved.'; } else { $user_data['firstname'] = $this-&gt;input-&gt;post('firstname'); $user_data['lastname'] = $this-&gt;input-&gt;post('lastname'); $user_data['email'] = $this-&gt;input-&gt;post('email'); $user_data['password'] = md5($this-&gt;input-&gt;post('password')); if($this-&gt;user_model-&gt;insert($user_data)) { if($this-&gt;user_model-&gt;login($user_data)) { $this-&gt;session-&gt;set_flashdata('message', 'User saved successfully.'); redirect('/user', 'refresh'); } } } } $this-&gt;load-&gt;view('user/register', $data); } </code></pre> <p>But I am not getting validation message for the custom method. Please suggest me how to do it?. The work is more appreciated.</p>
