Form validation not added to ci classes

[eluser]JanDoToDo[/eluser]
hey guys,

So i have a problem in that none of my errors are being displayed. I tried echoing all validation errors but still nothing comes up. this is my code.

Code:

$this -> load -> library('form_validation');
        
$this -> form_validation -> set_rules('contact_name',    lang("name"),     'trim|required');
$this -> form_validation -> set_rules('contact_email',lang("email"), 'trim|required|valid_email');
        

if ($this -> form_validation -> run() === FALSE) :
    var_dump(validation_errors());
else :
blah blah blah
end if;

and basically nothing shows up. I tried doing this var_dump(_get_validation_object()) but that returns FALSE. So, i went through that function and found that actually, the line 1007 in the form validation library

Code:

if ( ! isset($CI->load->_ci_classes) OR  ! isset($CI->load->_ci_classes['form_validation']))
        {
        var_dump('test4'); exit;
            return $return;
        }

my dump there is being called. I separated these out and found that its the ! isset($CI->load->_ci_classes['form_validation']) which is causing the problem. So it always returns false. Anyone know whats happening here?

Using some kind of modular solution?

Hey guys. Thanks I solved the issue. Its because the core CI files were from a previous version and the way they initiated classes was different. Updated the files and sorted itself out. Cheers!
