Form validation error messages?

[eluser]RecoilUK[/eluser]
Your point is?

The user_guide says nothing about accessing the second argument.

If you use this code ...

Code:

$this->form_validation->set_message('min_length', 'This field must contain at least %s characters.');

You get the name of field which is not what you want. So you have to use %s twice in the error message, and the whole point of my post was to not use the name in the message.

From my original question ...

I know how to show it with the name using the %s, but to get the number, you have to include the name.

Or maybe read closer?

Back at you.
