You mean the callback when you use the CI form validation?

ok i post sample code to make sense what i mean

Code:
url: http://example.com/form

<?php

form_open("controller/checkform);
//content
form_close();

?>

and my controller

Code:
function checkform(){
$this->load->library("form_validation");
            //some rule for validate
            if($this->form_validation->run()==FALSE){
                $this->form()
}

url change from http://example.com/form to http://example.com/checkform

but i dont want my url change like that, if i use redirect(/form) my form doesn't show any error

If you're trying to call another controller, it means your code is not very organized. CI is pretty well structured. Try following this:

Code:
class Form extends CI_Controller {

public function __construct()
{
  parent::__construct();
  
}

public function index()
{
  
  $this->load->helper('form');
  $this->load->library('form_validation');
  
  $this->form_validation->set_rules('username', 'username', 'required|callback__checkform');
  $this->form_validation->set_rules('password', 'password', 'required');
  
  if ($this->form_validation->run() == TRUE)
  {
   //form is valid
  }
  
  //load view here
}

public function _checkform($password)
{
  if ()//username and password are good
  {
   return true;
  }
  else
  {
   return false;
  }
}
}

Also, don't use your controllers as functions for your application. Controller are meant to control your app and call views. If you need to create functions you can use models. Creating functions in your controller can lead to a security risk too. Notice that I added the _ to the checkform function so it's not accessible via url.

That's what I'm talking about, if you're going to re-use a function in your controller, you should move the function to a model. Controllers should only include code that will only be used once. Save yourself the headache and just move the function to a model. It's a little extra work, but it's work it Smile
