Form validation and form_validation.php

Using config/form_validation.php should only be done for sites that are expected to be super small. If the site isn't small, you'll quickly outgrow the single file. I made a dir in /config called "form_validation" and put my files in there. When I need it, I load it just like any other config file, and then add the rules with:

PHP Code:

$this->form_validation->set_rules( config_item('this_specific_set_of_rules') );
