Help with form validation

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

But I found another way ...

Code:

$this->form_validation->set_rules('postcode', 'Postcode', 'required|alpha_numeric_space|min_length[8]|max_length[9]');
  $this->form_validation->set_rules('postcode1', 'Postcode', 'required|alpha_numeric_space|min_length[3]|max_length[4]');
  $this->form_validation->set_rules('postcode2', 'Postcode', 'required|alpha_numeric_space|min_length[3]|max_length[4]');

and then ...

Code:

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
   $_POST['postcode'] = $_POST['postcode1'] . ' ' . $_POST['postcode2'];
  }

But you only echo the one error message for postcode. You need the other two rules otherwise the fields don't get re populated.

What do you think?
