Description:
------------
I think it would be quite useful to pass parameters to form rules.
I have built a rule which checks whether at least one field has been filled in, but now there is a problem with the submit button (which has to have a name for some reasons) which passes a value and is element of the form (that's my check).
So a method

$form->addRule('myFormRule', $params)

would be nice.
Thanks in advance!

use addFormRule() for this kind of validation.

Hi!
Arg, I _used_ addFormRule($rule) for that (I just wrote it wrong here).
So I'm calling

$form->addFormRule(array($this, 'checkFields'));

I think it would be nice to pass something other than the callback to addFormRule().
Perhabs like that:

$form->addFormRule(array($this, 'checkFields'), array('myElement1', 'myElement2'));

checkFields() would have the following signature:
function checkFields(&$fields, $params)
($params would be array('myElement1', 'myElement2'))

It's just the same as with addRule(). There you can pass arguments. Why not so with addFormRule()?

Perhaps you can understand my request now (and not entitle it as bogus...).

Thank you for your great work with HTML_QuickForm,
