Set own rule message via form validation

Hi

How can I do this, set my own rule message via form validation, I'm doing something like this:

Code:

$this->form_validation->set_rules('company_name', 'company_name', 'required');  
$this->form_validation->set_message('company_name','GIVE ME NAME OF THE COMPANY');

It's not working...

the rule callback function must be defined in your controller.

set_message() is designed for setting messages for rules, not fields. So you'd use it for rules like "required", "min_length" etc.
