can you post an example

It's not a bug - it's a feature ;)

Try to use CI private function as workaround:

PHP Code:

public function _my_callback() {}

IMHO in use Callbacks Form Validation is a bad practice and it doesn't make any sense. Better extends the Form Validation Library and create your own validation rules.

Private functions can only be called by the class that declares them and this has nothing to do with CodeIgniter.

I agree with you
