Loading helpers/librarys in _construct

[eluser]brianw1975[/eluser]
libraries can be loaded in the constructor, thats for sure.

I'll admit that I haven't used the form_validation helper yet, but part of me is thinking (unless you just bodged together some sample code) that a problem may be popping up because of incorrectly supplied data (namely your rules) to set_rules().

According to the user guide http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...ation.html the rules should be supplied as an array with the field names associated with their necessary rule.

Perhaps you can supply corrected code or provide more detailed code?
