setting the $field variable in a custom callback

I'd like to figure out the CI validation before writing my own :p

Shit got weirder: I was adding debug log messages to see what happened where. When I add a log message in my callback _file_selected in my controller, I see it in the logs.

For testing purposes, I added a "matches[field]" rule to some other inputs and added a log_message('debug', 'matching tested') to the function matches() in the Form_validation library. Nothing showed up.

Apparently, that's because it first checks the required rule, if that isn't matched, it just skips all the others. Which makes sense.
