Auto Load Form Validation Library based on existance of post array.

Well, I figured doing is better then talking so I gave my first hook a shot...

hooks/Preload.php

Code:

class Preload
{

        function Preload()
        {
        
        }
        
        function load_form_validation()
        {
        
            if(!empty($_POST))
            {
                $CI = & get_instance();
                $CI->load->library('form_validation');
            }
        
        }
}

In config/hoooks.php

Code:

$hook['post_controller_constructor'] = array(
                                'class'    => 'Preload',
                                'function' => 'load_form_validation',
                                'filename' => 'Preload.php',
                                'filepath' => 'hooks'
                                
                                );

In config/config.php

Code:

$config['enable_hooks'] = TRUE;

It preloads the library quite nicely. I also created an url validation library so I can load that when $_GET is !empty. Can anyone else thing of any useful hooks. I'm going to take a look at the wiki for any other useful hooks. I have never seen any hooks around the forum so I'm curious if anyone is using them and how.
