issue with validation with datamapper

[eluser]johnmerlino[/eluser]
Thanks for response. I actually got things working but I wanted to clean it up a little so I added the magic method __set:

Code:

//controller
            $user->password($this->input->post('password'));
            $user->confirm_password($this->input->post('confirm_password'));


//User model
            protected $password;
            protected $confirm_password;

            public function __set($property,$value){
                $method = "set_{$property}";
                if(method_exists($this, $method)){
                    return $this->$method( $value );
                } else {
                    $this->$property = $value;
                }
            }
        
            public function set_password($pass){
                $this->password = $pass;
            }
            
            public function set_confirm_password($confirmed_pass){
                $this->confirm_password = $confirmed_pass;
            }

The above raises this:

Code:
