QF3.2 - 2 BC breaks with custom method!

OK. I struggled to upgrade to 3.2 The validation of custom functions seems to suffer at least two BC breaks: The set-up: --------------------- I had extended HTML_Quickform, and added a custom method: is_ok_values( $elementName, $submitValue, $format = NULL ) this method is called back at validation time to check that an element's values are within an array property. To be more specific: class MyQF extends HTML_QuickForm { // This method checks that the passed values are within an array of acceptable values function is_ok_values( $elementName, $submitValue, $format = NULL ) { // returns TRUE if $submitValue is in the $this->ok_values[$elementName] array ) // I register the is_ok_values() custom function as a method of the current MyQF object $this->registerRule( 'ok_values', 'function', 'is_ok_value', $this ) ; // I create an element "myElt" $this->addElement( 'select', 'myElt', 'select a gromit:', some array ) ; // I feed the ok_values property array with an array of values $this->ok_values['myElt'] = some array ; // I create a rule: $this->addRule( "elt", "please select a valid value", "ok_values" ) ; ... } Problem 1: "registry" implementation --------------------- The new implementation creates a registry object at the first rule registration (I think). This registry contains a copy of the QF object at this time; therefore further modifications of the QF object are not reflected. In the case above, when I add new elements, the additional "ok values" object property is not reflected in the registry. I found an (ugly) way around this problem: instead of doing $this->addRule( "elt", "please select a valid value", "ok_values" ) ; doing $this->rulesToAddAtValidateTime[] = '\$this->addRule( "elt", "please select a valid value", "ok_values" ) ;' ; and at validation time call eval() on each "differed rule" Problem 2: custom methods are not any more passed the element name!! --------------------------- Old implementation: (Quickform.php, line 1495) ---- case 'function': ... } elseif (method_exists($this, $ruleData[1])) { return $this->$ruleData[1]($elementName, $submitValue, $format); Very nice. All custom methods must be passed the arguments ($elementName, $submitValue, $format) New implementation: (Callback.php, line 61) ---- function validate($value, $options = null) ... if (isset($callback[1])) { return call_user_func(array($callback[1], $callback[0]), $value, $options); I do not have access anymore to the element name!! What would seem to be nice: ----------------- 1. at each new entry in the registry object, update the copy of the current QF object (is this copy needed all along, BTW? I did not enquire deep enough) 2. return to the previous implementation of custom functions and methods. 3. even better include this kind of validation, which I find quite useful (ok, I read previous threads about including new validation rules...) I'd be most delighted if somebody offered a workaround to problem 2. I really would like to upgrade.
