Check in your validation function ...

$field['username'] = "Username";

The validation values are only automatically set after the validation of the form field. If you want to add default values you have to make a loop where you add the values, for instance

Code:
$fields('username'=>'me');

foreach($fields as $key=>$val)

{

  $this->validation->$key = $val;

}

Hello is there a way that i can use the validation class to validate variables,

is something like this possible

Code:
$var = 'is_this_email';

$test = $this->validation->...something($var);

if($test == true){

//bla bla

} else {

// something

}

yes you could do something like that
Most of the rules that you can set such as required, matches, min_length, max_length, exact_length, valid_email, valid_ip, alpha, aplha_numeric, alpha_dash and numeric are just methods of the validation class that return a boolean value

so if you wanted to test if an email address was valid for example you could

Code:

if ($this->validation->valid_email('[email protected]'))...

You could also set the validation rules to check a callback function before the form will validate. Of course, this assumes you're pulling data from a form, and not just using the validation class by itself.

$rules['var'] = "required|min_length[5]|callback_variable_check";

Refer to the 'setting validation rules' of the documentation;
