Using the Validation Library

[eluser]Colin Williams[/eluser]
I think one thing CI is certainly lacking is a handler for this exact usage case. This comes up on every project, and I usually come up with a more clever way to handle it each time. I know someone has already extended the Validation library to handle this, I think with something like $this->validation->set_defaults($defaults) [.. just an example of how I think it's implemented.]

Try searching this forum or the Wiki. I know it's been done.
