CodeIgniter表单验证匹配标签

Question

Is it possible to change the output of the matches call when running form validation in CodeIgniter?

I'm validating a password against a confirm password box.

array(
    'field' => 'userPassword',
    'label' => 'Password',
    'rules' => 'trim|required|matches[userConfPassword]'
)

But when the error is triggered it prints out:

The Password field does not match the userConfPassword field.

The user has no idea was userConfPassword means and I'd like to change that to something more friendly. Reading the docs I can't find a way to do it.

Well, you can override the default message:

$this->form_validation->set_message('matches', 'the two passwords do not match|');

or some other message like that :).

I usually use that message for the "confirm password" only, though, so I set the normal password field as required and that's all, while for the confirm I have it to match the password entered, not the otherway around (or both). But that's just matter of taste I think.

For the record, it's written in this paragraph of the manual.
