[quote author="brucebat" date="1312331674"]Correct
My function is within the Controller class.
The example uses the $str as an argument,
Code:
function username_check($str)
{
}Post the entire controller please. And yes, $str is fine. You could call it $someStupidLongVariableNameThatIProbablyShouldNotUse if you wanted.

Put something like: echo 'got here - inside for loop'; immediately after the opening brace of the for loop.. make sure it's even getting in there.
EDIT:
I don't see a constructor. And is form_validation library auto-loaded?

Code:
echo "hello".$i;Okay tried that and it is working:
So if the user completes three rows I get:
Quote:hello0
hello1
hello2

See my edit, sorry.

form_validaiton is autoloaded.
Would a constructor be necessary? From my understanding of constructors in C++ they are used to create class attributes and set values? But in my class there are no attributes being shared in the class?
Thanks

Not sure if they're required or not... I do know you have to call parent::__construct() if you have a constructor. Not sure if the base class constructor gets called automatically or not. I'd add a constructor & see if it does anything. If not, was only a few seconds lost.

Ok I placed a constructor in the class, should I put anything inside it?
So far its not done anything
Hmmm

Code:
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->library('form_validation'); // just to test.
}Very strange issue, if that doesn't work. I'll have to look at code again.

DOH!!!
I am so silly,
I was calling the error reporting before the form_validation was being run.
Okay so the form_validation works and the function is getting called as the "hello world" echo i put it in it is being displayed however it is not giving an error message.
