validation errors output

[eluser]Bacteria Man[/eluser]
Here's a simple tip, which might save somebody a couple of minutes.

The default output of each validation error is wrapped in paragraph tags. I wanted to use list item tags.

Fortunately the Validation class defines two properties, _error_prefix and _error_suffix, which makes it easy to change them. Create an extended class (if you haven't previously done so) and define the new values in the Constructor.

Code:

class My_Validation extends CI_Validation
{
    /**
     * Constructor
     *
     */    
    function My_Validation()
    {    
        parent::CI_Validation();
        $this->_error_prefix = '<li>';
        $this->_error_suffix = '</li>';
    }
}
