When are the config_rules loaded for form_validation library?

[eluser]Pascal Kriete[/eluser]
When a config file has the same name as a library, the config array is automatically passed to the library constructor.

To get them yourself you have two options.

1. Steal it from the library:

Code:

// Only works if the lib is loaded
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$rules = $this->form_validation->_config_rules;

2. Load it through the config library:

Code:

$this->config->load('form_validation', TRUE);
$rules = $this->config->item('form_validation');
