Problems getting a simple form working....

I'm not an expert with the validation class, but maybe try declaring the field names when you declare your rules? Like:

Code:

$rules[’firstname’] = “required”;
$rules[’surname’] = “required”;

$this->validation->set_rules($rules);

$fields['firstname'] = 'First Name';
$fields['surname'] = 'Last Name';

$this->validation->set_fields($fields);

Also, it seems like your first name callback function is just checking to make sure it's not null, that's what required does, so you don't need that
