validation_errors() returning an empty string after upgrading to 2.1.0

Hello ToddyBoy

i also believe that you cannot assign the error message values for the variables. therefore the below line is not required in your controller.

Code:

$this->data['message'] = (validation_errors()) ? validation_errors() : $this->session->flashdata('message');

just remove that line and put

Code:

<?php echo validation_errors(); ?>

as InsiteFX has said in your view.
