Validation - How to set differ error message for each required fields - El Forum - 08-30-2008

Hi all, I am very new to CI.

I have 2 fields need to validate: username and password. Both of them must be required.

How can I set a differ error message for each field?
For example, when username is empty, error message is : "Username must have"
and password is empty, error message is : "Password must have"

Now I only know to do this:

Code:
$customMessage = 'This is custom error message for required rule';

$this->validation->set_message('required', $customMessage)

And the string $customMessage always appear whenever a field is empty regardless it's username or password.

Please help me. Thank you!
