By the sounds of things you have done the following:

Code:

$this->form_validation->set_rules('myfield', 'My Field', 'callback_isvalid');
..
..
// You then have a callback function in your controller
function isvalid($value)
{
  if(<some logic here>)
  {
    return TRUE:
  }
  else
  {
    return FALSE;
  }
}

The issue is you are missing the following line from the callback method.

Code:

$this->form_validation->set_message('myfield', 'The %s field is invalid');

Actually thats slightly wrong. It should be:

Code:

$this->form_validation->set_message ('isvalid', 'The %s field is invalid');

The $this->form_validation->set_message name needs to be the name of your callback function - NOT your variable name. If you set it to the variable name it gives the exact message the OP posted.

I know this because 30mis ago I had EXACTLY the same problem on one of my forms and worked out I'd done this

@theshiftexchange: Yup your 100% correct, typo on my part.

If thats not the fix could you post the code for setting up the validation rules and your callback method.
