Loading the form and validating in the same function?

Hi,

It's the first time I am doing a function like this (loading of the form and validating in the same function), so I have to paste the whole function; sorry for the long post. But the form doesn't validate; the form just reloads, with no fields repopulated, even though I have used

Code:

<?=form_input('name', set_value('name'))?>

The function follows:

Code:

function contact()
{
$this->load->library('Recaptcha');
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->load->helper('form');
$this->lang->load('recaptcha');
if ($this->form_validation->run())
$this->load->view('success.php');
else
{
$this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'email', 'required|valid_email');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'name', 'required|xss_clean');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('message', 'message', 'required|xss_clean');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('phone', 'phone', 'required|numeric');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('phone', 'phone', 'required|numeric');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('recaptcha_response_field', 'lang:recaptcha_field_name', 'required|callback_check_captcha');
$data['captcha'] = $this->recaptcha->get_html();
$this->load->view('contact', $data);
}
}

Thanks!
