Form Validation, validation->error_string not displaying

[eluser]JayTee[/eluser]
I don't know if it's a bug that was resolved, per se; the form validation has been re-done in 1.7.0. You may want to check it out.

On the other hand, I would suggest that you avoid checking for falsehood; it's not the best programming practice if you can avoid it. I usually do it this way:

Code:

if ($this->validation->run())
{
  //process form
}
else
{
  echo $this->validation->error_string;
}

You can see that it's just slightly different, but more readable.

Anyway, the reloaded form should have this in it:

Code:

<?PHP echo $this->validation->error_string ?>

at the top of the form. I don't know what your view looks like; but I'd start there.
