I attach a true value to the submit button with 'login' or 'register' for the respective submit. Then once the controller confirms that one of these is true it sets the appropriate rules and runs validation.

something like:

Code:

if ($this->input->post('register'))
{
$this->form_validation->set_rules('for','register','form','only');
if ($this->form_validation->run())
{
run registration sequence
} else {
return register errors sequence
}
} else {
this is not the register form
}

If you can post your code, I think I can help. The trick is to test which form is being submitted and only validate that. If no forms are being submitted, no validation should be run.
