The talk about PHP4 backwards compatibility is nice, but there's one gaping hole where CI doesn't work the same in PHP5 as it does in PHP4 - Validation, specifically when trying to use it via autoload.
The problem is that values of "$this->validation->error_string" and invalid fields get lost once you get to the View. Is it because of a bug in CI? a limitation in PHP4?
And yes, I realize you can:
Code:
class MyController extends Controller {
function doStuff() {
$this->load->library('validation');
// ...I should probably break down and get debugging working to figure this out myself, but if anybody, *Anybody* knows the answer (or at least has a suggestion for where to look), it would be much appreciated.
