Codeigniter callback function not working

Question

I am facing this problem from yesterday and can not fix it. My callback function is not working. It's always returning TRUE, but i don't know why? Can anyone help me?

Here is the the model:

class Login_model extends CI_Model {
public function check_login($str)
    {
        $this->form_validation->set_message('check_login', 'Error');
        return FALSE;

    }
function validate_login()
{
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Email Address', 'trim|required|valid_email|xss_clean');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('password', 'Password', 'callback_check_login');

    if($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)
    {
        return FALSE;
    }

    return TRUE;
}}

The callback function should never return TRUE. But it's returning! I am going to die with this problem! :@

why is your validate_login method returning booleans and not loading views or setting output? How do you conclude that the check_login method always return true (which is impossible as the doesn't return true). We need more code and more explanation, since this shouldn't be working for anything in CI at all. — Repox

Shouldn't the data validation go into the controller in CI? Does it even work in model? — TazGPL

you are right! The callback function does not work in model. I moved the form validation and callback function to the controller and it worked perfectly! @Struna — Anindya Dhruba

It will return TRUE because

You are not passing email and password to 'validate_login()'.
So $this->form_validation->run() will not work.

move validate_login() to any controller
