I want to validate user input phone number where number should be exactly 11 and started with 01 and value field should be number only. How do I do it using Laravel validation?
Here is my controller:
public function saveUser(Request $request){
$this->validate($request,[
'name' => 'required|max:120',
'email' => 'required|email|unique:users',
'phone' => 'required|min:11|numeric',
'course_id'=>'required'
]);
$user = new User();
$user->name= $request->Input(['name']);
$user->email= $request->Input(['email']);
$user->phone= $request->Input(['phone']);
$user->date = date('Y-m-d');
$user->completed_status = '0';
$user->course_id=$request->Input(['course_id']);
$user->save();
return redirect('success');
}

Answer 1

One possible solution would to use regex.
'phone' => 'required|regex:/(01)[0-9]{9}/'
This will check the input starts with 01 and is followed by 9 numbers. By using regex you don't need the numeric or size validation rules.
If you want to reuse this validation method else where, it would be a good idea to create your own validation rule for validating phone numbers.
Docs: Custom Validation
In your AppServiceProvider's boot method:
Validator::extend('phone_number', function($attribute, $value, $parameters)
{
return substr($value, 0, 2) == '01';
});
This will allow you to use the phone_number validation rule anywhere in your application, so your form validation could be:
'phone' => 'required|numeric|phone_number|size:11'
In your validator extension you could also check if the $value is numeric and 11 characters long.

Answer 2

From Laravel 5.5 on you can use an artisan command to create a new Rule which you can code regarding your requirements to decide whether it passes or fail.
Ej:
php artisan make:rule PhoneNumber
Then edit app/Rules/PhoneNumber.php, on method passes
/**
* Determine if the validation rule passes.
*
* #param string $attribute
* #param mixed $value
* #return bool
*/
public function passes($attribute, $value)
{
return preg_match('%^(?:(?:\(?(?:00|\+)([1-4]\d\d|[1-9]\d?)\)?)?[\-\.\ \\\/]?)?((?:\(?\d{1,}\)?[\-\.\ \\\/]?){0,})(?:[\-\.\ \\\/]?(?:#|ext\.?|extension|x)[\-\.\ \\\/]?(\d+))?$%i', $value) && strlen($value) >= 10;
}
Then, use this Rule as you usually would do with the validation:
use App\Rules\PhoneNumber;
$request->validate([
'name' => ['required', new PhoneNumber],
]);

Answer 3

Validator::extend('phone', function($attribute, $value, $parameters, $validator) {
return preg_match('%^(?:(?:\(?(?:00|\+)([1-4]\d\d|[1-9]\d?)\)?)?[\-\.\ \\\/]?)?((?:\(?\d{1,}\)?[\-\.\ \\\/]?){0,})(?:[\-\.\ \\\/]?(?:#|ext\.?|extension|x)[\-\.\ \\\/]?(\d+))?$%i', $value) && strlen($value) >= 10;
});
Validator::replacer('phone', function($message, $attribute, $rule, $parameters) {
return str_replace(':attribute',$attribute, ':attribute is invalid phone number');
});
Usage
Insert this code in the app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php to be booted up with your application.
This rule validates the telephone number against the given pattern above that i found after
long search it matches the most common mobile or telephone numbers in a lot of countries
This will allow you to use the phone validation rule anywhere in your application, so your form validation could be:
'phone' => 'required|numeric|phone'

Answer 4

You can use this :
'mobile_number' => ['required', 'digits:10'],

Answer 5

Use
required|numeric|size:11
Instead of
required|min:11|numeric

Answer 6

You can try out this phone validator package. Laravel Phone
Update
I recently discovered another package Lavarel Phone Validator (stuyam/laravel-phone-validator), that uses the free Twilio phone lookup service

Answer 7

There are a lot of things to consider when validating a phone number if you really think about it. (especially international) so using a package is better than the accepted answer by far, and if you want something simple like a regex I would suggest using something better than what #SlateEntropy suggested. (something like A comprehensive regex for phone number validation)

Answer 8

I used the code below, and it works
'PHONE' => 'required|regex:/(0)[0-9]/|not_regex:/[a-z]/|min:9',

Answer 9

$request->validate([
'phone' => 'numeric|required',
'body' => 'required',
]);
