Form validation error delimiter

Yes, you can do it like this, just before you set your validation rules in your controller you can add this:

PHP Code:

$this->form_validation->set_error_delimiters('', ''); 


(Those are empty single quotes by the way). Or you can add whatever you need on a case by case basis:

PHP Code:

$this->form_validation->set_error_delimiters('<span>', '</span>'); 


This will overide the config settings. I normally have config set to something general like you have, then overide for different uses or layouts or stylings as needed per form with the above.

You can also set delimeters individually for each error message in the view if you need to mix and match them in one form.

PHP Code:

<?php echo form_error('field name', '<div class="error">', '</div>'); ?>

It is here in the docs:

Hope that helps,
