What is wrong with this:

Code:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class MY_Form_validation extends CI_Form_validation {

function MY_Form_validation()
{
  parent::CI_Form_validation();
}


function valid_us_date($str)
{
  return ( ! ereg("^[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{4}$", $str)) ? FALSE : TRUE;
}


function valid_exp_date($str)
{
  return ( ! ereg("^[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{4}$", $str)) ? FALSE : TRUE;
}


function valid_phone($str)
{
  return ( ! ereg("^[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}$", $str)) ? FALSE : TRUE;
}


function valid_ssn($str)
{
  return ( ! ereg("^[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{4}$", $str)) ? FALSE : TRUE;
}


function valid_zip($str)
{
  return ( ! ereg("^[0-9]{5}$", $str)) ? FALSE : TRUE;
}

}

I'm not able to get any validation from it base on called rules like

Code:
<?php

$config['form_validation'] = array(
    array(
          'field' => 'firstname',
          'label' => 'First Name',
          'rules' => 'trim|required',
          ),
    array(
          'field' => 'lastname',
          'label' => 'Last Name',
          'rules' => 'trim|required',
          ),
    array(
          'field' => 'dob',
          'label' => 'DOB',
          'rules' => 'trim|required|valid_us_date',
          ),
    array(
          'field' => 'recaptcha_response_field',
          'label' => 'Security Question',
          'rules' => 'required|callback_check_captcha',
          )
);

How did you get this?
Code:
class MY_Form_validation extends CI_Form_validation {

Isn't it like this,
Code:
class MY_Form_validation extends CI_Controller {

What CI version you are using?
also review your constructor.
#3

[eluser]CroNiX[/eluser]
@solid9, the form validation library is NOT a controller...
#4

[eluser]CroNiX[/eluser]
is your MY_Form_validation.php file in
/application/libraries?

Yes, for CI v2+, constructor should be:

Code:
function __construct()
{
  parent::__construct();
}
#5

[eluser]CroNiX[/eluser]
Also, none of your rules set an error message.
#6

[eluser]Aken[/eluser]
If you're extending a library and don't need to use the constructor, then you don't need to define it again.

ereg() is also a deprecated function. use preg_match() instead.
#7

[eluser]Adam_R[/eluser]
So I have switched code to

Code:
function __construct()
{
  parent::__construct();
}

and changed ereg to preg_match but still it doesn't work. If I move for an example validation for valid_us_date to the forms.php controller it works. No clue why is not extending core form validation.

[eluser]Adam_R[/eluser]
OK, I have got this to work with that code:

Code:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class MY_Form_validation extends CI_Form_validation
{

function valid_us_date($str)
{
  if (! preg_match("/^[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{4}$/", $str)){
   $this->set_message('valid_us_date', 'Invalid DOB format.');
   return FALSE;
  }
  else {

   return TRUE;
  }

}


function valid_exp_date($str)
{
  if (! preg_match("/^[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{4}$/", $str)){
   $this->set_message('valid_exp_date', 'Invalid expiration date.');
   return FALSE;
  }
  else {

   return TRUE;
  }

}


function valid_phone($str)
{
  if (! preg_match("/^[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{4}$/", $str)){
   $this->set_message('valid_phone', 'Invalid phone number format.');
   return FALSE;
  }
  else {

   return TRUE;
  }

}


function valid_ssn($str)
{
  if (! preg_match("/^[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{4}$/", $str)){
   $this->set_message('valid_ssn', 'Invalid Social Security Number.');
   return FALSE;
  }
  else {

   return TRUE;
  }

}

function valid_zip($str)
{
  if (! preg_match("/^[0-9]{5}$/", $str)){
   $this->set_message('valid_zip', 'Invalid ZIP code.');
   return FALSE;
  }
  else {

   return TRUE;
  }

}

}
