Validate form with default values?

OK!

Big apologies to all for freaking out in various post about this issue.

But I'll post my 'bug' here, as someone else could be doing the same mistake as me.

I tried (unintentionally) to have both a 'required' rule and a 'callback_' at the same time (idiot me)!

so instead of:

Code:

$this->form_validation->set_rules('username', 'Username', 'callback_check_username');

I had:

Code:

$this->form_validation->set_rules('username', 'Username', 'required', 'callback_check_username');

So, make sure your third parameter is the callback (beating myself). There's a couple of hours truly wasted!

Hope this post helps someone some day!
