JFormRuleEquals::test

Method to test if two values are equal. To use this rule, the form XML needs a validate attribute of equals and a field attribute that is equal to the field to test against.

public function test(SimpleXMLElement
        $element,
            [JRegistry
        $value = null,

        $group = null,
            [JRegistry
        $input = null,
            [JForm
        $form = null]]]] )

Parameters

$element: The SimpleXMLElement object representing the <field /> tag for the form field object.
$value: The form field value to validate.
$group: The field name group control value. This acts as as an array container for the field.
