{
#Validations
$this->load->library('form_validation');


#Input and textarea field attributes
$data['c_name'] = array('name' => 'c_name', 'id' => 'c_name');
$data['c_o_name'] = array('name' => 'c_o_name', 'id' => 'c_o_name');
$data['c_place'] = array('name' => 'c_place', 'id' => 'c_place');

$data['c_phone_3'] = array('name' => 'c_phone_3', 'id' => 'c_phone_3');

if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)
{
$this->load->view('customer_view', $data);
}

Try:

Code:
&lt;?php echo $this->form_validation->error_string; ?&gt;

# instead of

&lt;?echo $this->form_validation->error_string;?&gt;

You're server might not support short tags. If you really must use short tags and your server doesn't support them, CodeIgniter can parse them for you at the cost of a little extra overhead.

I'm not sure if this is the problem here, but you don't seem to be calling the parent controller's constructor. You need to add this to your controller class:

Code:
function Customer()
{
    parent::Controller();
}

May I suggest you change
Code:
‘customer/enter_details’ == array(

to...
Code:
‘customer/enter_details’ => array(

And turn on logging, you might see something like this:

DEBUG - 2009-04-28 14:11:18 --&gt; Unable to find validation rules
