How to get array from form validation config file in controller?

application/config/form_validation.php

I have an idea to save my form validation array into config.php, and than to reference it in form_validation.php. Then I will be able to get it in controller, and be able to use it in validation.

Is there any better (direct) way?

Try

$this->config->load("form_validation");

Then

$this->config->item($key_name);
