There is no error_string function in the validation class, its just a variable. Also, you don't need to test the validation error string before echoing it out (you can if you want to though).

Your code:

Code:

<?php if ($this->validation->error_string()) {
echo $this->validation->error_string;
} ?>

Should just be:

Code:

<?php echo $this->validation->error_string; ?>
