On the CodeIgniter User Guide I've read that we can save validation rules into an array in application/config/form_validation.php
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/form_validation.html#savingtoconfig
I'm wondering if is possible to save these rules into a different config files like application/config/my_library.php
Form_validation.php should be like that:
<?php $config = array(
'signup' => array(
array(
'field' => 'username',
'label' => 'Username',
'rules' => 'required'
),
array(
'field' => 'password',
'label' => 'Password',
'rules' => 'required'
),
array(
'field' => 'passconf',
'label' => 'PasswordConfirmation',
'rules' => 'required'
),
array(
'field' => 'email',
'label' => 'Email',
'rules' => 'required'
)
),
'email' => array(
array(
'field' => 'emailaddress',
'label' => 'EmailAddress',
'rules' => 'required|valid_email'
),
array(
'field' => 'name',
'label' => 'Name',
'rules' => 'required|alpha'
),
array(
'field' => 'title',
'label' => 'Title',
'rules' => 'required'
),
array(
'field' => 'message',
'label' => 'MessageBody',
'rules' => 'required'
)
)
);
where each sub-array like 'email' or 'signup' identify a different form
