Validation in Laravel 8 - php

Question

I´m trying to create a personalized request in Laravel 8.
class SendContactFormRequest extends FormRequest
{
/**
* Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
*
* #return bool
*/
public function authorize()
{
return true;
}
/**
* Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
*
* #return array
*/
public function rules()
{
return [
'name' => 'required|min:4|max:30',
'email' => 'required|email',
'phone' => 'required|numeric|size:11',
'message' => 'required|min:4|max:400',
];
}
}
In my controller i´m using it to send email.
public function sendContactForm(SendContactFormRequest $request)
{
try {
$data = [
'name' => $request->get('name'),
'email' => $request->get('email'),
'phone' => $request->get('phone'),
'message' => $request->get('message'),
];
// SEND EMAIL
$this->sendNotification($data);
return redirect()
->back()
->with('success', trans('web.'));
} catch (Exception $e) {
return redirect()
->back()
->with('danger', $e->getMessage());
}
}
But always return HTTP ERROR 500 i don´t know what I´m doing wrong... I´m watching any tutorials and any code example, but I don´t know what it´s my problem.
UPDATED
Finally i did this:
firt i´m creating one personalised request:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Requests;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
class SendContactFormRequest extends FormRequest
{
/**
* Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
*
* #return bool
*/
public function authorize()
{
return true;
}
/**
* Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
*
* #return array
*/
public function rules()
{
return [
'name' => 'required|string|max:20',
'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email',
'phone' => 'required|numeric|min:10',
'message' => 'required|string|max:400',
];
}
}
in my controller i add use and create object in function:
public function sendContactForm(SendContactFormRequest $request)
{
try{
$data = [
'name' => $request->name,
'email' => $request->email,
'phone' => $request->phone,
'message' => $request->message,
];
// SEND EMAIL
$this->sendNotification($data);
return redirect()
->back()
->with('success', trans('web.'));
}catch (Exception $e) {
return redirect()
->back()
->with('danger', $e->getMessage());
}
}
now i´m user $request->variable before i´m using $request->get() i configure my notification and send my email ok.
Now my problem it´s that i tray send my contact form empty, i can´t show messages... But now i can see i my apache log, that i have this:
[
Mon May 03 17:55:48.109395 2021] [php:error] [pid 9796:tid 1216] [client ::1:61899] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 262144 bytes) in C:\\wamp64\\www\\aeveWeb\\vendor\\laravel\\framework\\src\\Illuminate\\Foundation\\Bootstrap\\HandleExceptions.php on line 129, referer: http://aeveweb.local/contact
i incremented this value to 512MB in wampServer but same result. I think that my code not validate my form, but i don´t understand i don´t know that i´m doin wrong
update
function sendNotification
/**
* SEND NOTIFICATION WHEN CONTACT FORM IT´S SEND
*/
public function sendNotification($data)
{
$emailTo = "";
$details = [
'name' => $data["name"],
'email' => $data["email"],
'phone' => $data["phone"],
'message' => $data["message"],
];
Notification::route('mail', $emailTo)->notify(new newMessage($details));
return redirect()->back()->with('success', 'Notificación enviada');
}

Answer 1

i resolve my question with:
$data = [
'name' => $request->name,
'email' => $request->email,
'phone' => $request->phone,
'message' => $request->message,
];
$validator = Validator::make($data,[
'name' => 'required|string|min:3|max:125',
'email' => 'required|string|email|max:100',
'phone' => 'required|regex:/^([0-9\s\-\+\(\)]*)$/|min:9',
'message' => 'required|string|max:400'
]);
if ($validator->fails()) {
return back()->withErrors($validator);
}else{
// SEND EMAIL
$this->sendNotification($data);
return redirect()
->back()
->with('success', trans('web.contact_form_send'));
}
