Form Validation

[eluser]Mareshal[/eluser]
first of all, even you copied the text wrong, or this is your real code.

1# you don't have a constructor in your controller: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...nstructors

2# you didn't initialize your db library and form_validation:
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...mples.html
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...ation.html

3# to display error individually, <?=form_error('you_field_name')?>

4# if you don't use global XSS_CLEAN = TRUE in your config, do not trow all your post in database
$this->db->insert('contacts',$_POST); //NO

either you use after "required|xss_clean" or you use something like this:

$post['your_field_name'] = $this->input->post('your_field_name', TRUE); //TRUE is for xss_clean

good luck
