$_GET and Form Validation - El Forum - 08-12-2010

Hello,
I've gotten query strings to work but I'd like to validate the strings if possible. How can I use the form validation library with them? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

The short answer: You can't. The Form validation library has $_POST hardcoded.
The long answer: If you still want this, your best bet is to copy the form validation library to get_validation.php, and replace all occurences of $_POST with $_GET. Imho that's a better bet than extending and messing with the code.
