Validation question

[eluser]Michael Wales[/eluser]
The validation class doesn't actually change or do anything to your variables.

The validation class checks your variables against your rules - and returns whether they pass or fail via the run() mthod.

So, if you have a validation setup and going, you would use the following code:

Code:

if ($this->validation->run()) {
  // All my variables passed the rules I established
} else {
  // My variables did not pass
}

Yes, you would access your variables via the input->post() method just as you would without the validation class.
