form validation error

[eluser]the_unforgiven[/eluser]
Hi All,

I'm getting this error:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Trying to get property of non-object
Filename: libraries/Form_validation.php
Line Number: 320

Fatal error: Call to a member function load() on a non-object in /home/site/public_html/system/libraries/Form_validation.php on line 320

Here's the controller

Code:

function send()
{

  // Set Validation Rules
  $this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', 'required');
  $this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Email', 'trim|required|valid_email');
  $this->form_validation->set_rules('phone', 'Phone', 'trim|required');
  $this->form_validation->set_rules('message', 'Message', 'trim|required');
  
  // Validation runs false rteun back to form and show errors
  if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE) {
  
   $this->index();
  }
  // If everything is filled out with no errors procced with sending the form to email and database
  else {
                 echo 'Submitted';
                }
}

I have tried commenting out line by line but still no joy then if i comment out them all it does kinda work, just wondering why this is not working can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Help much appreciated.

Anyone?

Did you load form_validation? :-)

[eluser]the_unforgiven[/eluser]
Yes via autoload.php

Code:

| -------------------------------------------------------------------
|  Auto-load Libraries
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
| These are the classes located in the system/libraries folder
| or in your application/libraries folder.
|
| Prototype:
|
| $autoload['libraries'] = array('database', 'session', 'xmlrpc');
*/

$autoload['libraries'] = array('database', 'session', 'form_validation', 'upload', 'pagination', 'email');


/*
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
|  Auto-load Helper Files
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
| Prototype:
|
| $autoload['helper'] = array('url', 'file');
*/

$autoload['helper'] = array('form', 'html', 'url', 'date', 'text', 'cookie','security', 'ckeditor', 'file');

Comment out your send() call, please.
Even that function is being called from a form.

[eluser]the_unforgiven[/eluser]
I commented out the send() function and got a 404 then cos the page contact/send doesn't exsist

[eluser]Mauricio de Abreu Antunes[/eluser]
Ah, ok! Forget my idea.

Please, try to load form_validation in your controller.

[eluser]the_unforgiven[/eluser]
Added both:

$this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
$this->load->library('form_validation');

in controller but still same error.

It looks like you are trying to load on something that is not a ci object. Your form validation is being called other wise the library wouldn't be giving you the error.

My guess is that something in your view is wrong.

[eluser]Mauricio de Abreu Antunes[/eluser]
Show your view, please.
How is your "validation_errors" in your view?
