Validation 387
.
1 'email' => 'unique:users,email_address,'.$user->id
Adding Additional Where Clauses:
You may also specify more conditions that will be added as “where” clauses to the query:
.
1 'email' => 'unique:users,email_address,NULL,id,account_id,1'
In the rule above, only rows with an account_id of 1 would be included in the unique check.
url
The field under validation must be a valid URL according to PHP’s filter_var function.
Conditionally Adding Rules
In some situations, you may wish to run validation checks against a field only if that field is present
in the input array. To quickly accomplish this, add the sometimes rule to your rule list:
.
1 $v = Validator::make($data, [
2 'email' => 'sometimes|required|email',
3 ]);
In the example above, the email field will only be validated if it is present in the $data array.
Complex Conditional Validation
Sometimes you may wish to add validation rules based on more complex conditional logic. For
example, you may wish to require a given field only if another field has a greater value than 100.
Or, you may need two fields to have a given value only when another field is present. Adding these
validation rules doesn’t have to be a pain. First, create a Validator instance with your static rules
that never change:
