Custom form validation rule

Was just going to say that. Use a period or other char for your delimiter within the brackets and explode on that ($field in your method)

I tried that, I stated above that I tried a period, comma, etc etc, and nothing worked. It always just returned the first two. I believe this is because CI uses sscanf to get the values, and it must be a string

I know I could fix this by pretty much overriding the entire CI_Form_validation:et_value, but I try as hard as I can not to override methods in CI framework
