how to validate a field on condition?

Originally Said By: Ray Borduin

In your validation you can use something like: <?php echo($_POST['selectfieldname']=="other")?$_POST['textfieldname']:"n/a"; ?>

That way if the value of the select field is "other" it will validate the text field, but if it isn't it will use "n/a" which would pass validation.

Hi Ray,
thanks for your patience,
where should I put this code?
what kind of validation should I select from the "validation type" list?
TIA
