$_POST validation not FORM validation - El Forum - 03-08-2012

[eluser]xtarx[/eluser]
I want to validate some POST data from an 'httpRequest' using the same functions of

form validation , i did some how copy functions form the 'form_validation' library ,but is there any better way to do it?

I want to do something like this

Code:
$this->form_validation->set_rules($_post['username'], 'Username', 'required');

 $this->form_validation->set_rules($_post['password'], 'Password', 'required');

 $this->form_validation->set_rules($_post['email'], 'Email', 'required');

Replace:

Code:
'$_post['username']'

with

Code:
'username'

And do the same for the other inputs you are going to check, hope it works.
