dynamic inputs and validation

[eluser]xwero[/eluser]
Normally it should work to validate an array but as the dynamic fields come out of a database why not do

Code:

<?php echo form_input('value_'.$howmany, set_value('value_'.$howmany)); ?> <?php echo form_error('value_'.$howmany); ?>

And in the controller

Code:

for($i=1;$1<=$data['howmany'];$i++)
{
   $this->form_validation->set_rules('value_'.$i,'Communication Value '.$i,'required');
}

Array validation is still a bit clunky even with the new validation class.
