Hey Guys,

I have tried to set rules for validation, but i have an array of same-name field

Code:
&lt;input type="text" name="fieldname[]" /&gt;

&lt;input type="text" name="fieldname[]" /&gt;

&lt;input type="text" name="fieldname[]" /&gt;

&lt;input type="text" name="fieldname[]" /&gt;

i tried to set rules in the validation

Code:
$rules['fieldname'][] = 'required'

and the result gave the error

Code:
A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Array to string conversion

Filename: libraries/Validation.php

Line Number: 195

short answer : yes Smile

There are third party modifications that overcome this restriction. Or you can name the fields individually.
