Form validation: Callback not changing the input value

[eluser]coolgeek[/eluser]

I trust that the MY_Form_validation class defined in ./system/application/libraries/MY_Form_validation.php, and not in the same file as your controller?

ugh, that was part of the problem - I had it saved as ./system/application/libraries/My_Form_validation.php (lower case 'y') with a similarly named constructor (though the class name was correct)

The extension is now being recognized (I know this because a PHP error got flagged in another function that I edited out of my post for brevity), but it's still not triggering callback_award_check when the award field is 'test award'

and thanks for the reply
