Data validation enhancement request

It would be nice if one of the validation options would check to see if the data entered matched a string of characters with a defined separator, eg:
data: wow
match: string: alpha, "toy dog", wow
where the comma is a the given separator (which should be passed as a variable)

It would be nice if one of the validation options would check to see if the data was included in the match string, eg:
data: wow
match: alpha toy wowzer dog
(the spaces are used for clarity and would be ignored unless the data was a space) This would vlaidate because wow is included in wowzer.

hi thanks for the good idea. I updated the file and added two new rules

public static function regex($val,$regex){
return preg_match($regex,$val);
}

public static function match($val,$param){
return $val == $param;
}

Ive also changed the accessibility of $error property.

Please feel free to edit the file when you need to.

That is what I call excellect! support.
