New Helpers on the Wiki

[eluser]bretticus[/eluser]
Apparently, this has to be a controller function or method. I wrote a wrapper function in my controller to get around it:

Code:

<?php
function check_card($card_number)
{
    $this->load->helper('cc');
    return card_number_valid($card_number);
}
?>

I suppose if somebody wants to call http://url.tld/controller/check_card/4111111111111111 they are welcome too Where the call is not going to a payment gateway, I'm not worried. But still the validation class should have access to a helper I think.

Also, don't forget to define the error message:

Code:

<?php
$this->validation->set_message('check_card', '%s is invalid');
?>
