Codeigniter extend library NOT working. No reason.

Question

<?php
class MY_Form_validation extends CI_Form_validation {

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

}  

This is the code in the file MY_Form_validation.php that I have created in my CI libraries folder. There were some functions in there but i removed them to try and get to the bottom of this.

Utilizing this library extension, form validation simply does not work at all. I have all my form validation rules in a config file.

If i delete MY_Form_validation.php everything works perfectly.

A post on the CodeIgniter board yielded no results.

Perhaps someone here could help? Thanks

Try this instead. You need to pass the $config array from the extended class to the CI_Form_validation. Also make sure the spelling is correct and case sensitive.

class MY_Form_validation extends CI_Form_validation {

    function MY_Form_validation( $config = array() )
    {
        parent::CI_Form_validation($config);
    }
