Ohh you're right thanks I miss this part but I've another problem related to this.
1) How you build a rule for this:

Code:
($value < 40 || $value > 100 || $value != 0)

2) How do I check that is a integer and also that is positive value? This is right:

Code:
$this->validation->set_rules("hp_motor", "HP Motor", "required|numeric|integer|min_length[40]|max_length[300]");

I believe what cideveloper gave you should handle it. It it must be greater than 39, 0 doesn't fit the bill.

1) Look at is_natural_no_zero, greater_than and less_than

2) Completely wrong from what I can see. No need to do numeric and integer. min and max length deal with strings. greater_than and less_than deal with numbers.

go through the Rule Reference. It has all the options you require.
