Fuel\Validation\RuleInterface::validate PHP Method

validate() public method

$field and $allFields are optional values to allow the validation rule to have some idea of context. This allows for rules such as "required" and "match field", validation rules that act on all the data rather than a single field. If a validation rule requires $field or $allFields but is not passed a value the rule should return false rather than throwing an exception.
