Rather than trying to return an error message from your validation
functions, split up your validation into smaller single purpose
validations.
Each smaller validation method can be assigned a message to report on
failure.
$validate = array(
'field_name' => array(
'length' => array(
'rule' => 'vLength',
'message' => 'Length does not meet requirements'
),
'characters' => array(
'rule' => 'vAllowedCharacters',
'message' => 'Only certain characters are allowed'
),
'something' => array(
'rule' => 'vSomethingElse',
'message' => 'Something Else is wrong.'
)
)
);
function vLength($data) {
/// -- implementation
}
function vAllowedCharacters($data) {
/// -- implementation
}
function vSomethingElse($data) {
/// -- implementation
}
