using validation_errors() inside controller? - El Forum - 11-22-2010

Hey folks,
How do i echo validation errors from a controller?
I'm using jquery to perform an ajaxian type call to the controller. all my values pass to and from with no problems.
where i am running into trouble is with echoing out the validation errors using validation_errors()
using echo validation_errors(); seems to work in a view but not a controller?
all i need to do is echo out my validation errors from the controller and i will have myself a nifty ajax form validation service using jquery and codeigniter.
any suggestions?

Could you just make a view that outputs the errors using validation_errors(), load the view into a variable in your controller, and echo the variable?
A bit of a roundabout way, but at least it keeps your output separate from your controller logic.

Thanks for your response...sorry for the delay; Thanksgiving really swamped me.
Anyway, I got to the bottom of the problem.
I was calling exit(); immediately follwing the validation_errors() function and for some reason that was causing them not to print;
Strange; why would that be?
I ordered the script to stop after echoing the function.
Can anyone shed some light upon this?

how about this..
if ($this->form_validation->run() == false)
{
echo validation_errors();
} else
{
}
exit;
