When doing your own validation rules (which would definitely be needed
here), you can access all fields on the submitted form via $this->data.
Here's an example where I validate for a PO Box on an address, if the
street name is blank.
function validatePOBox($check) {
$key = current($check);
$key = key($check);
$addressType = explode('_', $key,2);
$addressType = $addressType[0];
if (empty($this->data[$this->alias][$addressType . '_street_name'])) {
return Validation::notEmpty($check[$key]);
}
return true;
}
