ok, this is the way i am doing my form now. What do you think about it?

Controller

Code:
$data['headline'] = $this->lang->line('centers_add');

$data['action_url'] = 'centers/add';

$data['reset_url'] = 'centers';

$data['fields'] =& $fields;

$data['submit_val'] = $this->lang->line('add');

$fields['place'] = 'text';

$fields['address'] = 'text'; 

$fields['postcode'] = 'text';

$fields['city'] = 'text'; 

$fields['phone'] = 'text'; 

$fields['web'] = 'text';

$basic_rule = "htmlspecialchars|trim|required|min_length[2]";

$rules['name'] = "max_length[1]";

$rules['place'] = $rules['address'] = $rules['city'] = $basic_rule;

$rules['county'] = $rules['phone'] = $basic_rule;

$rules['postcode'] = $basic_rule."|numeric|max_length[5]";

$rules['web'] = "htmlspecialchars|trim|min_length[2]";

$this->validation->set_fields($fields);

$this->validation->set_rules($rules);

$this->validation->set_message('required', $this->lang->line('short'));

$this->validation->set_message('min_length', $this->lang->line('short'));

$this->validation->set_message('max_length', $this->lang->line('long'));

$this->validation->set_message('numeric', $this->lang->line('numeric'));

View

Code:
&lt;form action="&lt;?=base_url().$action_url?&gt;" id="form" method="post"&gt;

        <fieldset>

            &lt;?php foreach($fields as $field => $type): ?&gt;

                &lt;?php $field_error = $field."_error"; ?&gt;

                <label>&lt;?=$this->lang->line($field)?&gt; <span class="error">&lt;?=$this->validation->$field_error?&gt;</span></label><br />

                &lt;?php switch($type):

                    default: ?&gt;

                    &lt;?php break; ?&gt;

                    &lt;?php case 'text': ?&gt;

                        &lt;input type="text" name="&lt;?=$field?&gt;" value="&lt;?=$this-&gt;validation->$field ?&gt;" /><br />

                    &lt;?php break; ?&gt;

                    &lt;?php case 'textarea': ?&gt;

                        &lt;textarea name="&lt;?=$field?&gt;"&gt;&lt;?=$this->validation->$field ?&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;<br />

                &lt;?php endswitch ?&gt;

            &lt;?php endforeach ?&gt;

            <br />

            &lt;input type="submit" class="button" value="&lt;?=$submit_val?&gt;" /&gt;

        </fieldset>

    &lt;/form&gt;
