Codeigniter - adding multiple custom validation

Question

Is it possible to add 2 or more custom validation functions using the same field?

$this->form_validation->set_rules('myfield', 'My Field','required|my_method1|my_method2');

eg. my_method1 check the string format and my_method2 check the existence of the string in my database.

Seems like just the first method works and the second one is ignored. Is it because i'm using the same parameter for both functions?

thanks.

You can!

In each my_method_N($x) function, you must inform them as prefix the name callback_, for instance: callback_my_function1|callback_my_function2.

Take a look at this question that explains how you can use multiple callback functions and the syntax in the manual.
