I was running the example given in the form validation tutorial and I am getting this problem that
<?php echo validation_errors(); ?> shows errors even if the form is opened first time. It always shows errors
how can i fix this issue ?

check if you have
Code:
$this->form_validation->run()form validation class help - El Forum - 12-23-2009

nope there is no
$this->form_validation->run()
in the constructor.
I guess i have to send a variable like "$form_submited" and then check it to whether show errors or not.

class Customers extends Controller {
function Customers()
{
parent::Controller();
}
function index()
{
$this->view->assign('process',$this->input->post('process'));
$this->load->helper(array('form'));
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('FirstName', 'firstname', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('LastName', 'lastname', 'required');
if ($this->form_validation->run() == TRUE)
{
// using smarty templates
$this->view->show('customers');
}
else
{
// in both cases i have to show the same page
$this->view->show('customers');
}
}
}

You should check if the submit button has been clicked. That way you can prevent the errors from appearing
