php-laravelHow do I use Laravel validation in PHP?


Laravel validation is an easy way to validate user input in a Laravel application. It can be used in PHP to validate user input in forms.

The basic syntax of Laravel validation is:

$validator = Validator::make($data, $rules);

where $data is an array of data to be validated and $rules is an array of validation rules.

For example, to validate a user's email address:

$data = array('email' => '[email protected]');
$rules = array('email' => 'required|email');
$validator = Validator::make($data, $rules);

The output of this code will be a boolean (true or false) depending on whether the validation was successful or not.

In addition, you can also add custom error messages to the validation rules like this:

$rules = array('email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email');
$messages = array('unique' => 'This email address is already in use.');
$validator = Validator::make($data, $rules, $messages);

The output of this code will be the custom error message if the validation fails.

For more information, see the Laravel documentation and the Laravel Validation Tutorial.
