controllers/welcome.php

Code:
public function index()

    {

            $this->load->library('form_validation');

            $val = $this->form_validation;

            $val->set_error_delimiters('<div class="error">', '</div>');

            $val->set_rules('char','character name','trim|required|alpha_numeric|callback_char_check');

            $val->set_rules('pass','password','trim|required|alpha_numeric|min_length[5]|max_length[10]|callback_pass_check');

            if($val->run() == FALSE){

                $val->set_message('char_check','Not a registered charname.');

            }

            $data['main_content'] = 'welcome_message';

            $this->load->view('includes/template',$data);

    }

        function char_check() {

            $char = $this->input->post('char');

            $query = $this->db->get_where('characters', array('characterName' => $char), '1');

            echo $query->num_rows();

            if($query->num_rows() == 0){

                return false;

            }

            return true;

        }

views/welcome_message.php

Code:
&lt;?php echo form_open(' ','id="login"');?&gt;

            character name<br />

            &lt;input type="text" name="char" id="char"&gt;&lt;br />

            &lt;?php echo form_error('char');?&gt;

            password<br />

            &lt;input type="password" name="pass" id="pass"&gt;&lt;br />

            &lt;?php echo form_error('pass');?&gt;

            &lt;input type="submit" value="login" name="log"&gt;&lt;br />

            <span style="font-size:11px;">

                &lt;?php echo anchor('register/get_chars','register'); ?&gt;

                <a href="rpass">retrieve password</a>

            </span>

        &lt;/form&gt;

So when i just click the submit button i normally get the errors "The character name field is required" and "The password field is required.". But when i enter a name on character name and character name doesnt exists on database i get "Unable to access an error message corresponding to your field name."

I tried to add [code]<?php echo form_error('char_check');?> on the view but still the same.

What the hell am i doing wrong.

Cheers
