From Validation Bug or Syntax - Cannondale - 10-16-2016
I'm trying to call a custom validation method (), which reside in a custom library (). But I'm getting a CI error in libraries/Form_validation.php.
Not sure if this is a bug of a problem with my syntax. Code snipits below.
CONTROLLER

$this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', array($this->custom_validation_lib, '_alpha_custom'));LIB
Code:
public function _alpha_custom($str){
if(preg_match('/^[a-z\s\-\,\.\']*$/i', $str))
return TRUE;
else
return FALSE;
} OUTPUT
