In our use case we need to know the filter that was set on the view in order to do more processing in a PHP type field. This patch adds the $view object to the eval so that information about the view can be access.

If you care, after applying this patch the view's filter can be access in $view->exposed_data

This is a huge help! thanks harking

I use $view->args to get the argument to the view
and $view->result to get access to other rows' data for doing comparisions/calculations. Thanks for this patch.
It works well for me.

Big Help, exactly what I needed.

One suggestion to the patch. Add in

.t('$view: contains the $view data (e.g. $view->exposed_data).')

to the function options_form(&$form, &$form_state).

Thanks!!

I'm not entirely sure this patch is necessary. It doesn't seem to be well documented, but you should be able to access the view object in your custom field in $this->view
