I have a form like this that can have multiples images[] field:
{{ Form::open(array('url' => 'foo/bar', 'files' => true)) }}
<input type="file" name="images[]">
{{ Form::close() }}
How can I validate this field with laravel 4 validation? I tried this rule but it didn't work:
$rules = array('images[]' => 'required|image');
Try something like this:
$rules = array(
'images' => 'required|min:1|integerOrArray'
);
Based on the answer here
Use the validator from here
First of all are you running "images[]" over a loop? There is plenty of code examples for laravel 4 that actually don't work at all... And people who wrote them don't know how to use var_dump()...
If not - your probably running validation over a array of objects, try check:
var_dump(Input::file('files'));
So now after this lecture, lets run a for loop (had some issue with foreach idk why):
$files = Input::file('images');
$filesCount = count($files);
for ($i=0; $i < $filesCount; $i++)
{
$file = $files[$i];
$input = array(
'upload' => $files[$i]
);
$rules = array(
'upload' => 'image|max:15500'
);
$validation = Validator::make($input, $rules);
}
And now you can run your validation. Laravel4 only tries to valid mime type... so its vulnerable.
