Form validation: Callback not changing the input value

[eluser]coolgeek[/eluser]
Still generating a record with "test award" as the name and '0000-0-0' as the date. Here's the updated (and complete) copy of the validation library

Code:

<?php
class MY_Form_validation extends CI_Form_validation {

    function MY_Form_validation()
    {
        parent::CI_Form_validation();
    }

    function date_check ($str) {

        $day = $this->input->post('day');
        $month = $this->input->post('month');
        $year = $this->input->post('year');

        if (checkdate($month, $day, $year))
            return TRUE;
        else
        {
            $this->form_validation->set_message('date_check', 'The date field is invalid');
            return FALSE;
        }
    }

    function award_check($str)
    {
        if ($str == 'test award')
        {
            $this->form_validation->set_message('award_check', 'The %s field can not be the word "test award"');
            return FALSE;
        }
        else
        {
            //return TRUE;
            return 'wtf';
        }
    }
}

You'll note that I'm even trying to change the value in award_check in case the if failed for some bizarre reason. Also note that I've updated to accept a parameter in date_check, even though I'm not using it.

I am continuing to get (and fix) PHP errors flagged on MY_Form_validation.php when I've got a typo, so I am confident that CI_Form_validation is being extended

and yes, checkdate takes month first
