To create new validation rules!

1- define default error message, _(*11)

private static $error_myValidaton = 'my default error message';

2- create new validation function, _(*12)

function myValidation($param , $errorMsg=NULL)
  {
  if ($this->isValid && (! empty($this->currentObj->value)))
    {
        //
        //code to check if validation pass
        //
    $this->isValid = // TRUE or FALSE ;
    if (! $this->isValid)
    $this->setErrorMsg($errorMsg, self::$error_myValidation, $param);
    }
  return $this;
  }

3- use it, _(*13)

$Valid->name('testing')->myValidation(10, 'some error msg!');
