in v1.7 form_validation - how to include parameters?

Hi,

First, I really love this new validation, and probably many people do as well. But I'm encountering a small problem that I don't know how to achieve with this new library.

The application/config /form_validation.php can now store all validations at one place as everyone knows. But I can only do that with functions without arguments, it they do have arguments, how can I put them here as well?

For example, this works fine:
Code:
$config = array(
    // Register new user
    'register/index' =>
            array(
                array(
                    'field' => 'email',
                    'label' => 'email',
                    'rules' => 'required|max_length[255]|valid_email|callback_email_check|trim'
                )
            )
)

because inside the controller, the function is declared as:

Code:
class Register extends Controller
{
   function index()
   {
      ...
   }
}

But if the function is declared as:

Code:
class Register extends Controller
{
   function FUNC($arg1, $arg2)
   {
      ...
   }
}

it cannot be used inside the form_validation.php file above. I tried the followings but none of them works:

Code:
$config = array(
    // Register new user
    'register/FUNC($arg1, $arg2)' =>
            array(
                array(
                    'field' => 'email',
                    'label' => 'email',
                    'rules' => 'required|max_length[255]|valid_email|callback_email_check|trim'
                )
            )
)

OR

Code:
$config = array(
    // Register new user
    'register/FUNC/(:num)/(:any)' =>
            array(
                array(
                    'field' => 'email',
                    'label' => 'email',
                    'rules' => 'required|max_length[255]|valid_email|callback_email_check|trim'
                )
            )
)

OR

Code:
$config = array(
    // Register new user
    'register/FUNC/(:any)' =>
            array(
                array(
                    'field' => 'email',
                    'label' => 'email',
                    'rules' => 'required|max_length[255]|valid_email|callback_email_check|trim'
                )
            )
)

What I mean by doesn't work is it just simply skips the validation. I think that's because the 'register/index' matches the function index inside register controller, but none of what I tried matches the function FUNC($arg1, $arg2).

Does anyone know if we can do this with the library?

Thanks,
Khoa
