I've been using ORM for a while and it works great. But now I have to develop a quite complex web app so I prefer to use plain SQL and no ORM anymore. But I really love the integration with the Fieldset and Validation class, and I'd like to be able to use that the same way. I've created a model "Model_Crud style" (http://dev-docs.fuelphp.com/classes/model_crud/introduction.html) and I've set the rules in the protected static $_rules variable:

protected static $_rules = array('name' => 'required|min_length[50]');

When I run the validation, the output is just true of false (the input passes the rules or not):

$model = new Model_Test;
$model->name = 'this value is too short';
$model->validation()->run(); //outputs false, which is OK

But now I try to get the error message, which fails. I've tried:

$model->validation()->show_errors();

But a var_dump() gives me an empty string (string '' (length=0)) What am I doing wrong?

What does the validation() method do? Can you post some code on http://scrp.at ?

Hi Harro, the validation() method gives me: http://scrp.at/bAz
then the run() method gives me just boolean false.
my model: http://scrp.at/bAA
my controller: http://scrp.at/bAB

Hmmm. Which version of FuelPHP are you on? I've just copied your code into a test installation of 1.3/develop (should be equal to 1.2.1/release), and it works without problems.

echo $drivingSchool->validation()->show_errors();

gives me "The field name has to contain at least 2 characters." If you're doesn't give any output, what does

\Debug::dump($drivingSchool->validation()->error());

give you (it should be an array with 1 Validation_Error object).
