Thanks for the input.

Putting the callbacks in a MY_Form_validation.php file should work like you say but unless something has changed since I last used CodeIgniter making the validation function in the controller private would make the validation function inaccessible to the form validation library.

Personally I put my callbacks in a MY_Form_validation.php file in the /application/libraries/ folder, so I am sure they are not public even if I don’t privatize them.

One other possibility is to use PHP5 private word before the method :

private function my_callback() etc…
