After a form validation.. - El Forum - 11-10-2008

I have a form validation which works great. After the validation I need to check entered data usinga a database search. If the searchs fails, the forms is not valid and need to be reentered/edited.
Can I :
- Use the form validation passing a function as an argument to be a part of the form valdiation?
- Or can I manually add data to the validation_errors() function which will show the error encountered in the database search?

All you need to do is use a custom callback.
See the form_validation user guide. (http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/form_validation.html#callbacks)
It will do what you want.
Good Luck
