Form Validation RUNS first time page is loaded

I might be mistaken but I beleve all you have to do is switch your if statement to a negative check in the controller:

Code:

if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)
{
    $data['title'] = $this->sample_model->_get_title();
    $this->load->view('title_view', $data);
}
else
{
    //YES, true - if success,
    //code to update database
}

Not checked it but I'm pretty sure. Hope this helps
