File Upload Validation Broke

Has anyone had validation working on file uploads?  (as per the explanation given in the User Guide:  https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libra....html#id27) ?... I'm still having no joy in my attempts to get any of the listed rules working?

Thanks.

Hi, I decided to try a quick test (added validation to my existing image uploading stuff):

PHP Code:

        $validation = \Config\Services::validation();
        $validation->setRules(['images[]' => 'max_size[images[],700000]']);

        if ($this->request->getPost('submit')) {
            $validation->withRequest($this->request)->run();

            if(empty($validation->listErrors())) {
                $this->upload($table, $album_id);
            }
        } 


and this is view:

PHP Code:

        echo \Config\Services::validation()->listErrors() ?? null;
        helper('form');
        echo form_open_multipart();
        echo form_label('Put up some pictures (up to 8 at a time)', 'images');
        echo form_upload('images[]', set_value('images[]'), 'multiple id="images"');
        echo form_submit('submit', 'Save');
        echo form_close(); 


No, not working. I get an error in my view file saying the image is too big. But it is definitely not too big.

Not having any problem with the getFile() function or getFiles(), without the validation stuff I just added, of course.

p.s. I'm not using ajax

You can see things I made with codeigniter here: itart.pro its not overly impressive as I have very little time to learn.
