I have looked through the code a million times - its a cut and paste directly from User Guide Validation, but does not seem to work. I get no errors, just reloading of the form:

Controller - Form.php

Code:
&lt;?php

class Form extends Controller {

    function index()

{

    $this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));

    $this->load->library('validation');

    rules['Username']    = "required";

    $rules['password']    = "required";

    $rules['passconf']    = "required";

    $rules['email']        = "required";

    $this->validation->set_rules($rules);

    $fields['username']    = 'Username';

    $fields['password']    = 'Password';

    $fields['passconf']    = 'Password Confirmation';

    $fields['email']    = 'Email Address';

    $this->validation->set_fields($fields);

        d($this->validation->run());

    if ($this->validation->run() == FALSE)

    {

        $this->load->view('myform');

    }

    else

    {

        $this->load->view('formsuccess');

    }

}

}

?&gt;

From - MyForm

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;title&gt;My Form&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

&lt;?php echo $this->validation->error_string; ?&gt;

&lt;?php echo form_open('form'); ?&gt;

<h5>Username</h5>

&lt;?php echo $this->validation->username_error; ?&gt;

&lt;input type="text" name="username" value="&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;validation->username;?&gt;" size="50" />

<h5>Password</h5>

&lt;?php echo $this->validation->password_error; ?&gt;

&lt;input type="text" name="password" value="&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;validation->password;?&gt;" size="50" />

<h5>Password Confirm</h5>

&lt;?php echo $this->validation->passconf_error; ?&gt;

&lt;input type="text" name="passconf" value="&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;validation->passconf;?&gt;" size="50" />

<h5>Email Address</h5>

&lt;?php echo $this->validation->email_error; ?&gt;

&lt;input type="text" name="email" value="&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;validation->email;?&gt;" size="50" />

<div>&lt;input type="submit" value="Submit" /&gt;&lt;/div>

&lt;/form&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

Hi,

The example in the docs does work, so something went wrong during the copy and paste. I can see some incorrect code in what you posted:

Code:
rules['Username']    = "required";

//should be:

    $rules['username']    = "required";

//...

    $this->validation->set_fields($fields);

        d($this->validation->run()); //this line should be removed

    if ($this->validation->run() == FALSE)

I would suggest deleting it all, and starting the test again. Also, you should be using the new Form Validation instead of the old Validation class.
