Okay, I'm trying to validate the username and I have a match_pattern rule on it to only allow letters and numbers. But I"m confused on how to set the error message if they have spaces or underscores or whatever.

I know it would be like $val->set_message('match_pattern', 'pattern not matched').. but how do I specifically say 'Username must be letters and numbers only'?? Because what if there is another field where I'm only allowing letters and underscores? I need to set_message for a SPECIFIC field.

This is my code so far:

//matching fields

$form->field('password')->add_rule('match_value', $form->field('password2')->get_attribute('value'));

$form->field('pin')->add_rule('match_value', $form->field('pin2')->get_attribute('value'));

$form->field('email')->add_rule('match_value', $form->field('email2')->get_attribute('value'));

$form->field('username')->add_rule('match_pattern', '/(A-Za-z0-9]+/');

//validate form

$val = $form->validation();

//set error messages

$val->set_message('required', 'The field :field is required');

$val->set_message('valid_email', 'The field :field must be a valid email');

$val->set_message('match_value', 'The passwords do not match');

$val->set_message('min_length', 'The field :field is too short in length.');

$val->set_message('max_length', 'The field :field is too long in length.');

$val->set_message('match_pattern', 'The field :field is invalid');

if($val->run())

That is currently not possible, messages are linked to rules, not to field names. Adding this feature is on the roadmap, but probably not before 2.0.

As a workaround you can create a custom validation rule method, and set the message in there.
