Callback function for form validation in config file

问题

I'm trying to do an email validation whereby the domain of the email would be @abc123.com. I've separated my form validation rules into another file in the application/config folder called form_validation.php. One of my rules consists of a callback_email_check.

Where should I put the function? In the main controller or together with the form_validation.php file where all my form validation rules are? I've tried putting at both options but at where I display my error message I'm getting an output saying Unable to access an error message corresponding to your field name Email.(email_check).

function email_check($email)
{
    if( strpos($email, '@abc123.com') !== FALSE ) return TRUE;

    $this->form_validation->set_message('email', 'Please use abc123 email only.');

    return FALSE;
}

form_validation.php

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

/* Form Validation Rules */

$config = array(
    'login' => array(
            array(
                    'field' => 'user_id',
                    'label' => 'User ID',

On your function email_check, the set_message is not correct it should be the same name as the function.

Change this

$this->form_validation->set_message('email', 'Please use abc123 email only.');

To

$this->form_validation->set_message('email_check', 'Please use abc123 email only.');

I am also facing the same problem and this is how i resolved it...

You can put email_check function in same controller. In case you are not getting the error message in callback then pass $this in your run()

if ($this->form_validation->run($this)) { ...}

and associating a Controller Method with a Rule Group -

$config = array( 'controller/method' => array(...));

cheers !!

Just add this line in your config:

array(
      'field' => 'email',
      'label' => 'Email',
      'rules' => 'trim|required|valid_email|callback_email_check',
       **'errors' => array('email_check' => 'Your Error Message')**
),
