what different with
alpha_numeric
numeric
is_numeric
integer
is_natural
is_natural_no_zero
it seems they are same thing.
$lang['alpha_numeric'] = "The %s field may only contain alpha-numeric characters.";
$lang['numeric'] = "The %s field must contain only numbers.";
$lang['is_numeric'] = "The %s field must contain only numeric characters.";
$lang['integer'] = "The %s field must contain an integer.";
$lang['is_natural'] = "The %s field must contain only positive numbers.";
$lang['is_natural_no_zero'] = "The %s field must contain a number greater than zero.";

Code:
alpha_numeric # letters and numbers
numeric # numbers and characters to do with numbers (- and ., and perhaps +)?
is_numeric # I think that's just synonym for the above, perhaps for the previous validation library? I don't know, but it's not in the reference. :)
integer # numbers only (including - and perhaps +)?
is_natural # 0 or more
is_natural_no_zero # 1 or more
