Field Required Validation Based on Another Field's Input

Let say I have a field, user_type, which is an enum field. The options, paid or free.

 

And I have another field, paid_expiry. I want paid_expiry to be required if user_type is paid. But it is not required if user_type is free.

 

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Nevermind. I figured it out.

		$state = $gc->getState();
		if($state == 'insert_validation') {
			if ($this->input->post('paid_user') == 'paid') {
				$this->gc->set_rules('paid_expiry','Paid Expiry','required');
			}
		}
