Form Validation

[eluser]parabolic151[/eluser]
Hey, I am having an issue with validating my form, for some reason the form_validation library is not loading...

this is my Email Controller:

Code:

<?php

class Email extends Controller
{
            function __construct(){
                parent::Controller();
            }
            function index()
            {
            $this->load->view('contact');
            $this->load->library('form_validation');
            }
            
            function send()
            {
    
                
                //Field name error message
                $this->load->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', 'trim|required');
                $this->load->form_validation->set_rules('message', 'Message', 'required');
                $this->load->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Email Address', 'trim|required|valid_email');
                
                if($this->form_validation->run()==FALSE)
                {
                $this->load->view('contact');
                }
                else
                {
                    //validation has passed
                    $name= $this->input->post('name');
                    $email= $this->input->post('email');
                    
                    
                    $this->load->library('email');
                    $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
                    
                    $this->email->from('[email protected]', $email);
                    $this->email->to('[email protected]');
                    $this->email->subject($subject);
                    $this->email->message($message);
                    
                    $path = $this->config->item('server_root');
                    
                    
                    if($this->email->send())
                    {
                        echo'your message has been sent yoooo!';
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
                    }
                }
                
                
            }
}

This is the error message that comes up when i try to use the form..

can you try this:

Code:

$this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', 'required');

and yo check this thread... http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/47592/

You load the library only in the method index(), put the call into the constructor or the send method.

You load the library only in the method index(), put the call into the constructor or the send method.

and, once you have moved the loading of the library to the constructor, make sure you change your rule setting to:

Code:

$this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', 'required');

instead of:

Code:

$this->load->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', 'required');

(remove the "load" section)
