QFC - Register Rule

Hi,
I'm doing something wrong here, I've just moved a multipage form into
the QFC framework.  I have a number of genericaly useful function for
generating checkbox groups, radio buttons which like a good C programmer
I put into a "misc.php" -

a number of the checkboxes are for questions such as "choose
a,b,c,d,other ) if other then it produces a text box for 'Explanation'. 
I have a validation function that checks for the "other" option and
fails if there is a null value in the text box.

        // Start of sample code

    function getCheckBoxExplanationRule($elements,$explFlags)
    /* 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
        getExplanation
        Function will test an array of elements to ensure that if an
option
        requies an explanation (from the the Database) it has been
entered. The
        logic for this is simply if an option is followed by a
textbox/explanation
        field and is checked then if that text box is not entered the
function
        returns false.
       
--------------------------------------------------------------------   
*/
        {
        foreach ($elements as $k=>$v)
          {
          $flag = $explFlags[$k];
          if ($explFlags[$k] == 'Y')
            {
            if (!isset($elements['explFlag']) || ($elements['explFlag']
==""))
                {
                return false;
                }
            }
          }
        return true;
        }


    function getRadioExplanationRule($elements,$explFlags)
        {
        foreach ($elements as $k=>$v)
            {
            if ($explFlags[$v] == 'Y')
                {
                if ((!isset($elements['explFlag'])) ||
($elements['explFlag'] == ""))
                    {
                    return false;
                    }
                }
            }
        return true;
        }

  // End of code 
I regisiter the function as follows in the original


 // more code <code>
$this->inputForm->registerRule('checkBoxExpl','function','getCheckBoxExplanationRule','incidentReportForm');
       
$this->inputForm->registerRule('checkRadioExpl','function','getRadioExplanationRule','incidentReportForm');

        $this->inputForm->addRule('incLocation','Please add explanation
as
required','checkRadioExpl',$this->getExplFlds($this->getReferences($db,'Location')));

// end of code </code>



Now I want to call it from a page in qfc, I used the following

// <code>
require_once "misc.php";

class IncidentPage extends HTML_QuickForm_Page
        {
        function buildForm()
                {
                        // blah - build fields
                       
                
$this->registerRule('checkBoxExpl','function','getCheckBoxExplanationRule');
       
                
$this->registerRule('checkRadioExpl','function','getRadioExplanationRule');
                }
        }
// </code>

This is wrong because it never gets called - should I include all of
these functions in a parent form and sub-class that into QFC? 

Or is it even easier?

THanks for the great work on QFC, it is sinpirational.  I look forward
to working with you as I get this more under control, and hopefully will
need services to build things over the next few years.
