Your question is a bit hard to read, but if I understand correctly - you're having trouble validating 2 separate forms from one controller, or issues dealing with errors from different forms using validation_errors() which afaik prints ALL errors:

Before running validation, check for the existence of either a hidden field, a field that is unique to the form, or you can check the value of the particular submit button.

Then you can use any of these methods to check which form was submitted (This example checks if "form1" was submitted):

input->post('form1')): // check the hidden input
if ($this->input->post('form1_email')): // OR check a unique value
if ($this->input->post('submit') == 'Submit Form 1'): // OR check the submit button value

    if ($this->form_validation->run()):

        // process form

    else:
            // Create a variable with errors assigned to form 1
            // Make sure to pass this to your view
            $data['form1_errors'] = validation_errors();
    endif;

endif;
// Do same for form 2

Then in your view, instead of using validation_errors() you would use:

if (isset($form1_errors)) echo $form1_errors; // Print only form1's errors

If this doesn't help let me know, and clarify your question by posting your code.
